[SLUG] Power supply for router
I have a D-Link router, and a US power supply. Does anyone know of a supplier of power supplies for Australia? It must plug into the wall (240v) and put out 5v at 2.5A (according to the label on the existing power supply. Alternatively a step down transformer for less than the $100 Dick Smith wants.

[SLUG] Power supply failure
Hi Sluggers, This is related to recent discussions about backups. A friend of mine had his power supply fail in a catastrophic way which fried everything, including both his mirrored hard disks. I have never heard of a PS causing that much damage and was wondering if anyone on the list knows of any similar horror stories.I now don't feel quite so confidant about the weekly backups of my RAID system. -- Mark Pearson -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Power supply
Anyone got any idea about the power supply in England? I am off there in a few weeks and I want to take my laptop, the power supply reads input 100-240V~1.5A which sounds good, but I don't know what the story is?? The other thought I had was the internal modem (a xircom), this is something which I would assume has only been passed for use in oz. Anyway, sorry this is a little ot, but thought slug would be my best bet for an answer.

The other thought I had was the internal modem (a xircom), this is something which I would assume has only been passed for use in oz. Well, I'm a pom over here and brought over all of my kit. I just cut off the plugs of my multi-adapters and put aussie plugs on and everything worked. You shouldn't experience any problems with regards to power. The modem on the other hand maybe a bit more tricky. I had to pick up a new modem on arrival because mine didn't seem to work properly. I could get it to blind dial, but it wouldn't detect the dial tones etc (YMMV). So, pick up a standard power convertor and a phone convertor kit and give it a go. If you run into any problems while you are there, drop me a mail. Anyway, sorry this is a little ot, but thought slug would be my best bet for an answer.

Just add 'X3' in the dial string ( ATX3DT) to avoid dialtone detection.
