Who knows, maybe the timer relies on it so it, like the >clock, doesn't get reintialized on power loss.   >Dead power source, dead timer.   Hi Bruce,   This VCR is plugged in when the record timer was set. There was NO loss of power. Therefore, there was NO need for a battery (does NOT have one).   After the VCR failed to record at the appointed time, the time and date was checked and was correct.   John

vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: Jun 12 02:13AM I've never seen KVM switches needing power before and this one (I bought several) has no power supply included. But their is a socket for a power adaptor. Zonet KVM3304. So before I swithc everything over and find out it doesn't work, I was hoping someone would tell me if I really need power and what happens when I don't have it. ie, maybe I should shut down a few of the machines. THis thing is 4-way. What's a KVM - Keyboard Video Monito switch that lets you use multiple computers with one console.     -- Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus blog: panix.com/~vjp2/ruminatn.htm - = - web: panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm facebook.com/vasjpan2 - linkedin.com/in/vasjpan02 - biostrategist.com ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

If it's a higher quality video monitor, it might need buffers that have a slightly higher power requirement.   Any reviews I've read indicate that this model gets sufficient power from PS2 ports. If you're only using the video ports, or using a usb-ps2 adapter, it might not be so straight forward.   RL

vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: Jun 12 02:10AM I bought an HP 2621a CRT computer terminal in 1980. But about fifteen years ago the screen got black spots like mildew. But it ain't mildew. Apparently the glue holding a plastic sheet over the glass is decaying. I looked online and found you have to peal that plastic off and remove the glue. I do have a Zerox (ok, it was Savin then) copy of the service manual, but it says nothing about this. Yeah, it's nostalgia and prolly not worth the effort. But would appreciate any tips from anyone who has done anything like this before.       -- Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus blog: panix.com/~vjp2/ruminatn.htm - = - web: panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm facebook.com/vasjpan2 - linkedin.com/in/vasjpan02 - biostrategist.com ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
