Re: Amiga wearable computer

 I got this information from Index about power consumtion:
It has a 5.25" drive power connector, the same as a hard disk or CD-ROM,
therefore it requires +5V and +12V.
About 1.1A 5V (not including the floppy driver power, which peaks on motor
on at 0.75A) and a small amount of +12V, perhaps 0.1A.                        

As for the keyboard the best solution is if someone manage to hack
twiddler to standard pckeyboard interface and then use a pc-to-amiga
keyboard-adapter, i think.
