No, no -- I understood that. I'm just curious as

hardware the power supply in my IMSAI will reasonably support. Right
now I don't have too much installed the system (CPU, 2x8K static RAM)
as I'm just working through getting things working one board at a
time. I'm planning on expanding it a fair bit (video, I/O, floppy,
more RAM). I just don't want to overload it -- I have the 20-slot
backplane... I'm guessing loading up every slot with a 32K Static RAM
card would probably not be a good thing ;).
Probably not, but you're not going to. Generally speaking, the IMSAI
power supplies were pretty generous; not at all like the MITS
supplies.
I wouldn't worry.
