Another data point plus an "Arg!"... Ohio Scientific was quite fond of 2114s (Arg!). It looks like the cause of the power supply failure in my C4P is that one of the 24K memory cards (48 2114s) was drawing well over spec, even though it appeared to be providing reliable memory operation. It was populated with the LC (low power CMOS) 2114 chip. According to specs on the web, these should draw 40 milliamps max. I pulled 10 at random. Not one pulled less than 70. Now, I tested them with all pins floating other than power and ground and I wonder how much difference that makes, but totaling up an average of 75 per chip gives about what the card as a whole draws when in operation. The other card, populated with another vendors 2114s, draws over 1/2 amp less when in operation, reflecting about 42 milliamps per chip.
