Thanks, Frank.

I've managed to find those pc dc outlets (2 per board), so I'm going to
get
some (page 13 of keene's 2002 catalogue, if anyones interested) and try
running most of my pc connected toys (and possibly KAT5) off of them. If
the
wavefinder doesnt work at 9v (the maximum output voltage from these
units)
I'll try all the suggested options.

The real problem is I know very little (if anything) about electronics.
So
current/diodes/regulators leave me groping in the dark. I wish I'd taken
the
time to learn about electronics (I can build a PC, but that's about
it!).
e.g. I didnt realise that if I tried to run 12v dc down a length of cat5
for
any distance that I wouldnt necessarily get out the end what I put in at
the
other end...

Many thanks
Tony T
