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!
