1.8 BAR, Is it safe?

[Ryan Gemmill]

Nik - I can't give you an answer to your chip questions, or really any of
your questions. But keep in mind the bar on your computer is relative to the
outside air pressure. So, at 1 bar, the pressure is equal to the air
pressure of wherever you are. A value less than 1 indicates a vacuum
situation. That said, if you see 1.3 bar on your computer, that means the
pressure you're getting is 1.3xthe pressure outside in bar. (millibar is
sometimes more often used by weather forcasters or whomever). Check out

HTH!
