Re: Just out of morbid curiosity: power consumption of an E4A

Depends on which version of said LAN console!

On newer machines it works fine with ACS. Yes it has limitations, like 
it can't power the machine ON. ;-)

Only the old machines where you connecticated a cable to what LOOKED 
like a parallel port (DB25 connection) that turned out to be a 
completely unsupported function for the chip behind that port. It had to 
be disabled because no computer in the last decade or more even HAD a 
parallel port and even less likely than that the chip in said port was 
compatible.
