skibum enthusiast Registered: 27/03/2002 Posts: 248 Loc: Swindon, UK	I'd like to power my 2 empegs from 1 psu (still using the 2 US psu's with 240v convertors). So I've bought myself a psu thats the following :- 15v 2.4A According to the faq I need between 12-16v and 1A. So according to my theory, this should be man enough for the job? Btw, it's maplin part number is N64AT if anyone is interested. _________________________ Andy MK2a 60GB Amber 040103916 32mb/Light Kit MK2a 50GB Amber 030102560 32mb

Perhaps I should have gone for the 13.8v version :-) _________________________ Andy MK2a 60GB Amber 040103916 32mb/Light Kit MK2a 50GB Amber 030102560 32mb
