[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Power limit on ADB and TelePort modem

sead142@ut-emx.uucp (Larry Smith) (01/18/91)

I received a number of independent reports that the Global Village
TelePort modem that plugs in the ADB draws 135 mA (according to the 
manual).  Thanks to all who wrote.  That, however, leaves the other
questions:  Is anyone using the TelePort modem with an LC?  Is the
ADB current limit on the LC REALLY 200 milliamps?  Do the new
(cheap) Taiwanese mice really chew up 80 mA?  Does the LC keyboard
draw 25 mA (even without LEDs)?  I would love to hear from any
knowledgeable person on this, especially someone who is using the
TelePort _on an LC_.  (BTW, the technical support at Global Village
told me it draws only 100 mA, contrary to what y'all say the manual
says.)

Thanks again,
Larry Smith
