Subject: Re: [motm] Upgrading power supply

From: Mark <yahoogroups@...>
Date: 2006-07-25

There is no way to "beef up the size of, the power one transformer
that's in the 900?". That, and it's not a transformer. It's a power
supply. Although a transformer is part of such a power supply.

I don't know if another Power One power supply with more current will
fit behind an MOTM 900. Regardless, you have two options. You can
entirely replace the supply you have now with a bigger one that will
power everything. Or you can get another supply and use it to power
to some of your modules -- perhaps use the MOTM-900 to power your
MOTM modules, and the second supply to power your Milton and Blacet
modules.

What you do not want to do, is connect the the output of two separate
power supplies together.
