Ärende: T/eagle has landed, late

Potential difference... A 48V supply rail is fine, but MOSFET output stages
blew these discrete transistor power-amps into the "has_been" bin. That's what
landed them on my bench.

 MK> What's your point?

No points on the monies. )-: Maybe I could have elaborated "(READ: -$$$)"

 MK> Too bad it never happens

I think that's called "life". /-:

Besides regulating, there is a feedback loop to satisfy, no?

So:
Charging Power -> 12V |-> Inverter -> AC
        |
        |-> MB
        |<- "Power Good?"

For my Mega-mini-MB, it needs (a regulated?) 9V. Full stop.

*All* of it is "organic"!
