'feels like' a pretty trivial thing to make, with the box and connection ports being the most costly components. So why do comercial converters cost ~$100. ( much more than i just paid for this printer.. :) i guess i am asking for: a)reference to a schematic b)explination of why i would be wasting my time to try to design one from scratch. c)new or used converter for $20 :-) -- / george jefferson \/ * george@mech.seas.upenn.edu
