I've used a clamp meter to measure the actual power draw on some machines.
Celeron 300 running .70 A (.34 A was CRT) leaving 0.36 for machine.
Celeron 1700 running .65 A (.28 A was CRT) leaving 0.37 A for machine
Dell P3 700 laptop 0.14 A while charging battery and 0.10 A later.
For 235 Volts here in New Zealand that works out at
Celeron 300 165 Watts or 84.6 Watts for the machine
Celeron 1700 153 Watts or 86.9 Watts for the machine
Laptop 32.9 Watts charging or 23.5 Watts not charging
Now - I don't have a soekris or wrap board to test... But if anyone in
Christchurch New Zealand does then give me an email off list.
