Re: O/I POWER?
Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to run power through the competition port rather than just using the AC adapter?
Something else that might be somewhat helpful. One day one of our drivers got sick of always having to get the OI close enough to an outlet to use the AC adapter and he made a battery pack for it. He just bought one of those AA battery holders from radio shack and connected whatever connector the OI uses (the same one as the AC adapter uses, don't know what it's called) to it. It only requires 5-7 AA batteries. (I'm not sure how many exactly, I haven't worked with it for a few months and I forgot what voltage the OI requires)
