It doesnt work right now .. I tried it a while ago

I am using standard Maplins 9v power supplies without problem. The smaller
one choked with ultrachg but the bigger one was ok. My main 9v PSU is a
30amp supply at home so thats never had problems

There is a kit to do this on swan.ml.org/pc110. It also supports the
Adaptec airport units. I use this setup at home, but very soon I plan to
switch to real irda/irlap/irlan as Dag has almost usable Linux code for this
to put AF_IRDA and IP over IRDA into Linux

Handy.. Im still trying to find out how to duplicate ultrachg and PS2
under Linux. As well as what the patch to the win95 video drivers did
so I can duplicate that in Xfree 3.3.1
