You may try and dig into old versions of BYTE (and I mean OLD, i.e.
from the time when BYTE was readable and didn't consider "computer" being
exactly identical to "IBM compatible")
Steve Ciarcia had an article on monitoring power consumption.

If You can't find the article(s), give me a "ring", I have a small
number of BYTEs and can probably find the article easily (I write this
at work and the BYTEs are in the basement of my home)
