70mA is quite a lot, really. However there are op-amps that can handle that amount of current (and being op-amps are perfectly happy on a double-rail supply for +/-10V operation. http://docs-europe.origin.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0024/0900766b80024697.pdf Would do the trick, it could probably be mounted in heat-shrink in the cable, though there are clearly neater ways. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
