Power consumption: One person in AH (Analogue Heaven) group told that he didn't recommend buying a Fairlight or Synclavier, since they draw allot of power. When I planned buying a Synclavier and got info, it turned out that the system I'd like would draw 10A, that is 2300 Watts... The system the seller used even used 20A....
Now I don't know how much a series III uses, but for my IIx I measured just about 275 Watts, which is less than most modern desktops and is not so bad at all. How much does a series III draw?
Regards,
Peter Kersten.

Subject: [Fairlight-CMI] Can a Q777 be removed from a Rev11 / 9.34 Series III?
Hi all,
Not much activity on the forum these days, so hoping that a few are still hanging around!!
I'm going through a full service of my Series III at the moment and in the interests of log-term reliability and power consumption, I'm removing all cards and devices that are not necessay to it's day-to-day operation (such as the floppy contoller and drive).
With this in mind, does anyone know if it is possible to remove the Q777 card? To be honest, whilst I'm aware that for the earlier revisions it held the SCSI device firmware, I'm not sure what it's role is in a latter spec Series III, given that the CMI41 and TS-1 are handing SCSI activities. All I know is that the machine won't work without it!
Any advice would be welcome.
