I believe Lionel management knows that using the driver chip they chose was a mistake, but it is not easily corrected.
I have not yet widely advertised my MANCO Booster because I wanted to complete the field testing with the first dozen units. I hope that the LUG meeting at York will give my product some good exposure.
One advantage of my unit is that it has an additional direct feedthrough 9-pin connector so that devices such as computers running the new Legacy system utility can be easily plugged in without disturbing the accessory port.
Don, as I recall, when I looked up your unit, I didn't see any specifications that indicated how much output current to expect. Do you have any additional information of that type?
