"UPS showed up 20 minutes ago with my new P3SVGA board.  Took about 15
minutes to install it.  The power supply I use for the station has some AUX
terminals on the back that are good for 5 amps so it was really easy to hook
the new power cord supplied with the SVGA unit to those terminals.  Now,
when I switch the power supply on, the P3 comes up and waits for the K3 to
be powered up.  A little clunky, but once the mod is available to make the
K3 supply a bit more current, I'll do that and then everything will be back
to normal again."

If you are like a few of us that run the K3 at ~15v, you will find no mod is
necessary, and the P3SVGA runs happy all day
Long from the K3 with no mod. That is my experience. 
My k3 runs at a custom HD cable/PS setup, K3 display shows 15.2v unkeyed and
14.8v keyed @ 110w. IM3 -36dB
