    TAM - Aux PSU for Expansion Card(s) in Development . . .

    Pulled post from Parallel MLA thread: ____________________________________________________________ Did a more refined diagram in AI8: In parallel TD thread, It came up that USB-C can only output one voltage at a time. But the little Power Converter/Power Supply is the only powered device and...

    TAM - Aux PSU for Expansion Card(s) in Development . . .

    My thinking on trying this madness IRL would be a jumper cutout on every power line of the TwinSlot/TAM riser: - fit headers on all lines for baseline testing of the TAM Riser. - match sockets on the AuxPSU protoboard to the risers power cuttouts. - AuxPSU experimental circuits could be done via...

    TAM - Aux PSU for Expansion Card(s) in Development . . .

    So USB-C is the rough equivalent of a Switching Power Supply? Might a couple of BIG MOHONKING CAPACITORS even out those switching effects? The power from USB-C AuxPSU to the cards would be continuous and unrelated to soft-power silliness in the rest of the TAM. It won't be replacing the TAM's...

    TAM - Aux PSU for Expansion Card(s) in Development . . .

    . . . hopefully! Start of this project was info about the anemic TAM PSU issue from many sources, here, MLA, WWW and ThinkClassic back in that day. Was working on putting together a better Initial Post, but what the heck . . . just chuck it out to the pack of wolves! :p First notion was...

    TwiSlot PCI Riser and ComSlot2 NIC repro in widened CS riser form factor

    2 years later . . . Yeah, I've got references about inadequate power in the TAM over on the MLA. It looks like a 6x00 PSU, but you can't judge an Apple publication by its cover AT ALL! I saw in one of the resto/fix it articles that Apple swapped a gutless PSU into that existing can for...

    Thanks for the well wishes and thank you very much for helping me refine my pitch! I think too few are aware these days of his legacy of/commitment to education. It was known as ideosyncratic of a wealthy titan of technology in the day. But what might be expected of the only founder of Apple...

    Sorry about the BIG linkage, it's an artifact of copy pasting from an article title. No yelling intended, emphasis was good though. woz spent 8 of his 55 active years (per wikipedia) teaching computer science to 5th graders. Now woz.org continues his legacy as a teacher/educator. Tech...

    What did you cook today?

    Hope it aged better than a fine cheese? My pasta sure did, but the leftovers aren't very photogenic so . . . . . . pic I took whilst frying up the first iteration will do nicely. Finding a jar of mild jalapenos at Trader Joe's was the inspiration. No meat involved, but OMG! Got the...

    Contact the WOZ? Apple affiliated members? Woz.org folks? re: SWIM Release

    Hence that suggestion that he might find recreation/cloning his namesake as a fun project to leave something so beautiful as part of his legacy. Might he even request said developers to take on that task for him? Can't imagine Apple refusing his request for IP release, if documentation is...

    Contact the WOZ? Apple affiliated members? Woz.org folks? re: SWIM Release

    I've long suggested contacting woz to see if he'd release (or recreate) SWIM for the community: We're of an age and thinking it might be a significant addition to his legacy. He's far deep into education and tech talent development thru woz.org. So thinking would be that giving folks young and...

    What did you cook today?

    Yummy, both of your meals! I spent 20 minutes cooking, 15 over my prep limit, but get at least four meals out of it so 5 Min. each works! I'll try to remember to take a pic tomorrow. edit: @JDW, your .png isn't opening up into full size. Could you swap it out for a .jpg burger?

    CayMac IIsi Mean Well PSU Replacement

    I'd like to give that a go, wondering what production date is on the boards and how much PicoPSU may have been refined since you determined ripple on your build?

    What did you cook today?

    Color me jealous, there is NOTHING to compare to the fresh picked Butter & Sugar of my high school friend's garden. Was long gone from the farm as an IBM brat at that time. ;) We did a lot of soy and hay along with the field corn.

    Linux Could Become Illegal In The USA (Video)

    it's a relief to me that infighting in congress has replaced doing the legislative work we're supposedly paying them to do. IOW, never gonna happen and will be tied up in the courts before implementation for freakin' YEARS! Thank Finagle, god of the offworlder asteroid colonies. ;)

    GAAAAH!!! ;) edit: did you grow sweet corn on your farm? Parents/Great Aunt wouldn't let me. We picked tender young field corn ears in season.
