The Maximite-SM1sold through Dontronics is the computer PCB I am questioning. A photo of the unit shows a light green connector strip for a gnd/gnd/5v input. A schematic shows an external power source (?) jack that is connected to a power switch and a VR before connecting to the green power strip on the PCB. I don't see the "con 1 external power jack" on the computer or a power switch which begs the question where are the components that connect to the green power terminal? You say the computer can be powered via the USB port so therefor I do not need any other power source? Sorry if these questions may be confusing. My plan is to primarily use the Maximite as a Basic computer learning tool with the capability of being connected to a PC via the USB port on the unit. I also need the capability to use the unit "standalone" with a flat screen and a keyboard. Thank you
