Re: Just out of morbid curiosity: power consumption of an E4A

Depends on which version of said LAN console!

On newer machines it works fine with ACS. Yes it has limitations, like it can't power the machine ON. ;-)

Only the old machines where you connecticated a cable to what LOOKED like a parallel port (DB25 connection) that turned out to be a completely unsupported function for the chip behind that port. It had to be disabled because no computer in the last decade or more even HAD a parallel port and even less likely than that the chip in said port was compatible.

Yes. It wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't for the fact that some years ago the virtual control panel on LAN Console stopped working and then disappeared completely.
