Weekend report / Thrift stores

My main question is - what is the input voltage? I'm going to need to mod a power supply to it before I can get anywhere with it. Bill, Your best bet is to pick up a genuine TI transformer yourself. However, quoted from the TI transformer itself: INPUT: 120VAC 60HZ 40W OUTPUT: PINS 1,2: 18VAC, 18VA PINS 2,4: 8.5VAC, 1.28VA Hope this helps - by the way, did you get a beige or silver unit, and how much did you pay for it? Also, where are good thrift places to hit (other than Salvation Army), where you can go and pick up used computer stuff? Bryan bnicalek(a)aol.com or reply direct to: classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu
