[nycbug-talk] Soekris net 4801 - power failure

[Jonathan Vanasco]

For ~ $10 at most drugstores, kmart, radioshack you can pick up a  
configrable power adapter

it has a 2 switches - one for polarity, one for voltage, and comes  
with a bunch of connectors

they're not designed for longterm use, but they're really good to  
troubleshoot stuff like this.   all power adapters have their  
polarity and voltage on the convertor.  usually its on a sticker, but  
sometimes they're bastards and have it as part f the mold.  i usually  
just do a pencil rubbing with a piece of paper on the box to pull the  
voltage.

anyways, if things don't pan out w/ike, they're a good thing to have  
around.
