Hi,
Puppy Linux is available for a free download and can be burned to a CD,
DVD, or USB "thumb" drive. Doing so will avoid the cost of mailing half
way around the world. I have been known to use the Puppy and another
small distribution that runs in ram - "damn small linux" aka DSL. It's
also free for a download.
look here:
http://puppylinux.org/main/
and here:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html
Good luck with the linux projects.
73,
Bill KU8H

It was only one module. It has dual outputs-
one +48 Volts, one -48 Volts with a "common" betweem them.
Since the outputs are isolated from the input voltage,
I could connect the -48V to ground, the +48V to B+
and leave the "common" floating. The result is +96V for B+.
Modules with such high votage output are scarce.
But those that will supply + and - 15 Volts show up a lot.
Since the outputs are isolated ( important to be sure of that),
these outputs can be "stacked" just like 30Volt batteries.
I've run them like this for hours with no problems.
There are some +/- 15V on the Bay now, but the sellers
have inflated ideas about the value of surplus parts.
Units with realistic prices do appear- just have to keep
watching for them.
Prosper in the New Year, Pat! 73 Dave AB5S

It was 1956 when I got my American Flyer set, a 4-6-2 loco with tender, a
coal carrier, flat car. Gulf tanker and caboose. Two switches and a
de-coupler. Still have it and I got a bottle of "smoke" fluid too. Still
love that smell as much as old mil radio smell!

My most memorable Christmas was when I was only about 9 years old and got
a S-38E under the tree.
I knew it was coming and could not wait. Got everyone up in the early
morning so I could open the package
and went running off to my room to set it up. It was my first shortwave
receiver.
I never had a train or BB gun ("you'll put your eye out kid"). My father
was a mechanic and when I was
very young he had his own shop and put up a tall tower so he could have
2-way communication to his wreckers.
That and seeing him fix our first TV set got me interested in radio.
