Do you know which line the +5v is and wether it is constantly +5. It sounds ugly but maybe I could hold it steady with a small battery. > Why is it that the power goes out on your 386 and not on your sun? > Can you "plug" the PC into the same power source as your Sun boxes? > Then, the PC won't go down until the Suns do... They're both on an UPS but if the power supply on the PC fails then I'm stuffed. I should have mentioned that I'd like to scale up the solution to a dozen or so semi-critical boxes that I'd prefer not to support overnight or at weekends. Cheers, Terry.
