1. Overload the Buss

pxx1_2000_32724 · Tue, 18 Sep 2012 17:33

Using a 2068, concerning buss overloadin and processor cooling, Am I running this risk with items backplaned? I intend to backplane the Aerco parallel printer interface, the Larken 256k Ramdisk, The Larken Disk controller, The Oliger disk IF, the Twister, The DiVide, 
  How does one tell when the buss is about to overload? When the smoke is let out, it's too late I know...thanks

I don't know the answer to this question, but I do know that your power supply should be capable of supporting everything, it can get hot and fail if it's not.
