The power consumption of the SIO2USB-Interface is approximately
150mA plus the power consumption of the USB Flash drive. If your ATARI™
computer is not upgraded e.g. with a RAM disk, a stronger power supply is
necessary for your ATARI™ computer (min. 2.5A at 5V).
✖
The operation with a too weak power supply will lead to a overheated po-
wer supply, system crashs or boot problems of the computer.
✖
No USB hubs shall be connected!

the USB port! This can distroy the SIO2USB-Interface and the ATARI(tm)

of the yellow LEDs is on. This can lead to data loss.
