**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 17 02:59:57 2009 Jul 17 03:05:36 from the OpenRD Client docs :The OpenRD-Client is budgeted for 36W (12V/3A) D.C. power supply. Average power Jul 17 03:05:36 consumption is around 7.2W. Maximum power consumption measured with all 7 USB Jul 17 03:05:37 ports, HDD and Ethernet operational is 29.9W. In idle state system draws power of Jul 17 03:05:37 around 4.8W. Jul 17 03:13:35 OpenRD Base doc says the same Jul 17 05:56:02 tinker-f595: Thanks for the information - so it looks like the LCD controller consumes about 2W which sounds ok. Jul 17 05:56:31 dieter_: no problem Jul 17 05:56:52 dieter_: so you did not look at the docs on the CD ? Jul 17 05:57:12 tinker-f595: I have to state: not to all :) Jul 17 05:57:21 oh gees Jul 17 05:57:26 flying blind Jul 17 05:57:52 by the way I finally got the Sheevaplug booting from a harddrive Jul 17 05:57:52 tinker-f595: I have only had a look at the schematics. Which is most important from my point of view Jul 17 05:58:06 tinker-f595: fine Jul 17 05:58:22 Sometimes they don't tell you everything in the schematics Jul 17 05:58:42 tinker-f595: yes, indeed. But the hardware doesn't lie :) Jul 17 05:59:04 tinker-f595: and most of the time you understand the software layer only after seeing the hardware Jul 17 05:59:07 Now I have to find a save place to leave the sheevaplug and drive Jul 17 06:00:13 once I do that I will setup the website Jul 17 06:00:26 tinker-f595: you should think about buying a safe for it :) Jul 17 06:00:55 that is just silly Jul 17 06:01:18 yep - but still save :) Jul 17 06:01:27 I meant a place where it won't get knocked loose by falling books and junk motherboards Jul 17 06:02:04 need to find an electronics recycler to dump junk Jul 17 06:02:06 tinker-f595: ah, I know this problem from my desk... Jul 17 06:02:50 I use a walk in closet as my computer room. too much stuff in there Jul 17 06:03:44 :) Jul 17 06:06:11 hard to find the real junk amongst all the other stuff Jul 17 06:06:44 tinker-f595: if you haven't used it for at least half a year it's maybe junk... Jul 17 06:06:56 ha Jul 17 06:07:09 I have old MB form the 1990s Jul 17 06:07:26 need a 486dx66 ? Jul 17 06:07:36 not really :) Jul 17 06:07:42 how about an AMD Duron?
