8-bit (S100) question

At 06:37 PM 4/21/2007, you wrote: I sell a 100w 8v and 60w 16/-16v switchers with my kits. I'm not sure what the limits are on them yet. I do have 8 8k SEALS cards I could throw in my Altair. :) With this route you could leave your cards alone. Are you interested in doing this for both weight/heat savings? Or just weight? I banged my head into a wall trying to maintain the cards original design while still having switchers... Here are pictures of Geoff Harrison's Altair replica with 4 IMSAI 4k RAM cards. I'm pretty sure these are cards with 32 2102s. I think he also has a terminal and disk drive card in it by now. http://www.stockly.com/forums/showthread.php?p=520#post520 Some people ask me if 100w/60w is enough. Power Factor has bigger supplies if it is a concern. The switchers will supply their output with a lot less voltage drop than a linear supply. I wonder if a lot of the linear supplies were over done because of that... I've sent you these before, but here they are again: They are trimmed up from 7.5v and +/-15v. <http://www.power-factor-1st.com/shop/enclosed-switching-power-supplies/g2-series/s-100f.html>http://www.power-factor-1st.com/shop...es/s-100f.html http://www.power-factor-1st.com/shop...ries/t-60.html Grant
