Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: RT802 DAC board

I finally just chiseled the traces between the converter and the first
load, and it still overheats - output voltages are in the 10v-12v range.

So I guess I'm looking for a new converter. Acutally I may try
running it off the bus +/- 12v... in a junk computer first.
