My Farallon PN895 ethernet card consumes about 500mA during transmission
and using the 2 port hub. That works well and drains the accu very fast.
But there was no damage to the internal PS nor warnings or switch off.

PC equipment works generally fine in Apple products. Take for example
the Pretec cards, the Farallon ethernet card or the various modem cards.
The Merlin card should appear as like a communications card (Hayes
commands should work w/o problems).
