We weren't able to find a single DC power supply to power the entire cluster, so we decided to go with the 'laptop brick' power supplies. The netcard enclosure is now labelled as discontinued, but is still in stock at emj embedded: http://www.emjembedded.com/cgi-bin/america/order/items.cgi?spec+CEL+0,40+ Though a call should be put into them to determine if there are any better alternatives: (952)345-0085 -nick From owner-upl-hardware@cs.wisc.edu Wed Feb 14 12:17:42 2001 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by jeeves.cs.wisc.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) id MAA25194; Wed, 14 Feb 2001 12:17:42 -0600 (CST) X-Authentication-Warning: jeeves.cs.wisc.edu: majordom set sender to owner-upl-hardware@cs.wisc.edu using -f Received: from data.upl.cs.wisc.edu (IDENT:root@data.upl.cs.wisc.edu [128.105.45.42]) by jeeves.cs.wisc.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id MAA25190 for ; Wed, 14 Feb 2001 12:17:41 -0600 (CST) Received: from athena.jive.org (athena.jive.org [128.105.45.50]) by data.upl.cs.wisc.edu (8.10.2/8.10.2) with ESMTP id f1EIHe903337 for ; Wed, 14 Feb 2001 12:17:40 -0600 Received: (from nick@localhost) by athena.jive.org (8.10.2/8.10.2) id f1EIHeF10893 for upl-hardware@upl.cs.wisc.edu; Wed, 14 Feb 2001 12:17:40 -0600 From: Nick Rasmussen Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 12:17:40 -0600 To: upl-hardware@upl.cs.wisc.edu Subject: [upl-hw] If you want to get involved in assembly of the cluster...
