[Soekris] Power supplies

[Wayne Lee]

the supplies are the stock Soekris parts purchased from Cortex Systems

These are already 1.5 amp units. There are no extra drives or any
wireless cards installed.

Just a plain net4801-60 with the lan1621 as seen here

Power supply is here

Would using 2 amp (or higher) supplies cause any damage to the units?


Regards

Wayne
