There's an interesting idea I saw in the Elektor magazine.=20

When a PC (ATX SPMS) switches off, or hibernates,, the monitor still =
keeps consuming some power. Now, in this situation, it seems the +5V on =
the game port switches off as well. So, drive a relay by this voltage, =
and power up your external peripherals like the monitor, printer, mains =
powered speakers etc. thru' the relay contacts. A truly green PC!

My question is, what is the maximum current one can draw thru' the 5V =
available on the game port?

Anand Dhuru
