I could then carefully unsolder the legs one by one. I wanted to know what the power consumption was before doing the modification in order to have something to compare with afterwards. Some tests performed by Vic Gerhardi. The figures are not easily comparable to other measurements because they are taken when running off batteries. The current is dependant on the voltage.
Lower voltage is compensated by higher current and the other way around.
Note one interesting point. There are two types of 128K RAM cards of which one takes more current. This test illustrates another interesting point. RAM cards placed in slot 3 takes more power. I decided to base my tests on Matthew Soar's methods.
