Hi Paul, You're a man from the furture. Can you please tell me what is the spec of the PC you're using on that year. I really what to know it because I read from a newsletter that Microsoft's Bill Gates have recently share his view of PC at the time about 2017. He said that there will be over 4GHz in speed. And I think you should have over 2GB of RAM onboard because he said so. About the HD, I think you should have one over 100GB. Your network access must be over 100Mbps wirelessly.

If they are 1.5 A or less, you can use the LM317, adjusting the output voltage. You must provide 3 Volts more than the desired output in the input pin, to obtain a good regulation. It works well, and it is cheap ;) Regards, Paul H. Castro -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
