[Wizard] power issues

[Craig Ringer]

Hi folks

Having noticed a few people talking of turning these Netway wizards into 
firewalls etc by way of additional ethernet ports, I thought I'd point 
out a potential issue.

There are indications that the PSUs they come with are barely adequate 
for the draw of the machines in their standard configuration. In 
particular, they apparently go flakey when you add a larger, 7200rpm 
hard disk, or much above 128mb of RAM (despite the board being rated for 
512mb).

This might be worth keeping in mind for upgrade plans. I wouldn't be 
surprised if a more capable 5V power adapter could be used to fix the 
issue, but I don't know the details of how much current the motherboard 
can handle, so the limitation might not be the power adapter or not 
entirely so.

Anyway, just some thoughts for the archvies as much as anything.
