My suspicion is that you will not be able to run a Mac SE for long off of your inverter. The SE will probably consume as much as 1.5-2 amps, particularly if it has a hard drive in it. Depending on your battery life, you will probably have to consider a means of turning the SE on and off. I'm assuming you're looking to operate the SE remotely, rather than for personal use, but there is a device called a Mr. MOX, which will turn on a PC in response to a phone call. Then one can use a cellular phone modem (again run off the battery) to do this. It's kind of expensive, but it does work fairly well. -- Sometimes when I've got the blues, And woo the shape I'm in, At least I'm not A tubby crooner with a voice of tin. == From "Elvis didn't die(t) in vain" Via apple!mailcom, Jailhouse Rock BBS, Fido 1:204/444
