Hi Jason:
This is just a guess, but I think that the 'blown capacitor' problem is
directly related to the 'TYCO' power supply. It's output IS going to be
_very_ noisy, when compared to computer grade supplies. The peak voltage
is probably what's killing things. I would look for an 18v supply.

That's what I thought. I have 2 of the WANG WLTC's (that's why I'm
trading
one). The other one has worked fine for about 1 year (and longer with the
previous owner) with the Tyco supply. The other keeps blowing. I think
it's being caused by some weak components elsewhere in the circuit (some of
the other caps may be beginning to deteriorate).

Whoops --- didn't reset the calendar. Need to have it set before June,

with 4.0 Communicator and I can't stand the GUI of Communicator.
About the PS -- you are probably right in figuring that there is a
difference in the amount of 'filtering' before the capacitor that is
dying. Find that difference, and that will take care of the 'cap'
problem.
