Well group, Andrew wins this round of "Troubleshoot That Synth!". He
reminded me that the power supplies have a current limiter resistor
in the form of a trimpot!

The Power One HBB-15 has two trimpots - one for each output of the
supply - and they have taken the precaution of painting over the
wiper shafts with anti-idiot lacquer. This crumbles away easily with
the tip of a small screwdriver or an x-acto blade. I raised both to
the maximum current. This shouldn't cause any problems. There is a
resistor in series with the trimpot and the "over-current" condition
being limited is very short duration. Likewise, the current
consumption of all the modules is well within the capability of the 3
amp supply. Not even breaking a sweat...

Now, even with the module count of the Engine of Chaos at 47, there
is no more power anomoly. World domination is now just within my
grasp!!!

Thanks everyone!

Chub- drunk with power!
