Not having a Rev L (), USB port hasn't been an issue with me, but this is a point that Rev L users should be aware of.
That's correct. However, even I learn something new, occasionally.
As do we all.
Regardless, the RS supply is good for only a limited set of DCS implementations, and should not be construed as any kind of a "silver bullet" as regards providing TIU power.
This is definitely something that should be borne in mind if a user is planning to have more than 1 or 2 AIU relays activated simultaneously.
On my work bench, where I use, at the most, one test track and 0 AIUs, or do some upgrading, and at York Upgrade session, I use a 400ma 15 volt wall wart that originally was from a large cell phone. It's adequate for that purpose and resonably portable, plus its jack fits the AUX port..
