About 5 years ago, someone was selling a line of DC input switching
power supplies.  They were like the standard open frame
power supplies but there were 3 families with inputs of 12, 24, or 48
volts, and within each family there were supplies with different power
capacities.

Does anyone (someone with an EEM) know which company this was?
