Not being an EE, my only point of reference for an automotive power supply
has been the one for the EFI332 project. That one had a bunch of other stuff
(techincal term) in it for protection from all the nasties. I have a PIC
microcontroller, and a DP Ram chip. Again not being an EE, I'm not sure how
clean a supply this is as opposed to how clean it needs to be... I did get
the data sheet, and it looks easy enough to try.  

Thanks,
Eric
