the rating is 100W and it says 18 amps, 30 inrush. The power wire for the radio is 16 ga, i wonder if that will be more acceptable?
I would run dedicated power from the dist block, but i am short on time.
UPDATE: win XP now starts (after using the rollback feature to take it back a few months), and no longer recongizes the second IDE drive (CD-rom), but is kind enought to ask me if i want to load the drivers, ON A CD. Thanks microsoft.
Time to cut my losses and re-install XP! Yay!.....
