That's a good point. I derived my number from the ratings on the back
of each unit, added together. I keep forgetting that little thing
about peak power versus normal operating power. ;-)
I'd also trade, just because I'd like a mini with a programmer's
panel, someday. This MV7800/U is in a Nova 4 enclosure, with nothing
but a power and reset switch on the left side. Since I don't know if
the drives are even viable, it's hard to toggle something into memory
without one. ;-)
