In this month's Sun Observer there's an article about add-ons for 3/50s. In discussing RAM, they say (I quote from memory, so take this with a grain of salt) that Sun didn't want to make a RAM expansion card due to excess power draw. Well, guess what expansion I'm thinking about :-). I have a silly idea -- why not simply power the monitor directly from the wall? That will greatly reduce the load on the P/S, including those wonderful surges when we switch the monitor off every night.
