   What is the board power draw?   
   17 Mar 23 20:59:17   
   
   From: ohland@charter.net   
      
   IBM set +12v, +5v, and -5v power for each slot, and the cumulative power   
   of all slots.   
      
   BUT I am not sure if they published the power draw for the board itself.   
   I >think< each SIMM can draw up to 1.5A for the 32MB SIMM size. We lack   
   the data sheet for each size of SIMM.   
      
   I >think< the three device power taps are short circuit protected, but   
   what are the power limits per outlet? Dunno.
