wrote: You are not going to be able to use a cheap, run-of-the-mill desktop straight from 12v DC power. Inside there is a power supply that produces several different voltages used by the PC. Your only alternative is to use an inverter. There are some 12 volt power supplies that can be used in place of the standard AC supplies in most desktop machines - but they may cost more than a suitable inverter. -- Peter Bennett, VE7CEI peterbb4 (at) interchange.ubc.ca new newsgroup users info : http://vancouver-webpages.com/nnq GPS and NMEA info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter Vancouver Power Squadron: http://vancouver.powersquadron.ca |
