PS/2: How much power?
« on: September 25, 2004, 09:34:52 pm »
How much power can a PS/2 port provide? (in milliamps)

I want to run two standard arcade optical encoders, as well as a few accent LEDs.

How many super bright yellow LEDs can I power along with the mouse hack?

Thanks!

hmmm. I don't think it's safe to drain that current from the mouse hack. Why don't you use power directly from the PSU   ;)
