Has anyone tried using the 486 embedded pc board that Jameco sells? I was looking for the embedded PC card I have here and found that it requires + and - 5v along with the +-12volts just to boot! The only thing bothering me about the Jameco product is that it states that is needs a whopping 5 amps! Has anyone done any real power testing on this thing? with a 486sx chip or a slow 486-66 I wonder if it really needs the whole 5 amps. I can get 6.5 amps out of my DC inverter for the 5volts but only .2amps for 12 volts. I keep looking at the Jameco card as many of these other card-computer companies still want $600-$800.00USD for their 386/486 and then you have to buy ram,etc at highly inflated prices from them. thanks -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
