Well Jim, that was why I used the word "potentially", but judging by the
size of the pins used to couple the power supply's output into the
board -
if you've been following the thread, you will recall that I previously
described them as being of the size you would find on the line cord for a
kettle - then I wouldn't say that there was too much in the way of
reserve.



"The size you would find on the line cord for a kettle" doesn't have
much meaning in the US.

Why is that ? You have electric kettles in your kitchens - I've used them.
Or don't you call them kettles ?. OK, anyway, if it's a better description,
the size of the round ground pin on a line cord that has a three pin plug.
Is that more meaningful ? 3/16" diameter maybe ? 4mm ?
