About 25-50 pounds in weight never mind cost.
<b)Using a bunch of PC power supplies to power the DC components.
<My first problem is how I trick a PC/AT power supply to stay on when
<it's not hooked up to anything. Do I need to short something?
Don't do it. First, switching powersupplies get real upset if the are
not
loaded to some minimum point, they gernerally don't
like running in
parallel and the other is power sequencing.
What's power sequencing?
<Next is the problem of pinouts on the 34. There is
ground and +5v
<labelled clearly. THere is also a circuit board with lots of screw
<terminals. Could someone tell me the voltages on those (it's a board
<right below the CE panel and a bit on the right)?
Get and learn to use volmeters. There may be unsafe voltages or
currents
at low voltages that can be dangerous. Also miswiring
could toast the
machine fully and very completely.
I have voltmeters, and know how to use them,
but they aren't much
use when there is no way to power the thing.
