I've had occasional trouble running the Zephyr because as weird as this sounds: the fan can have a start up surge that exceeds 200 mA.  Its like sizing a water pump for mice.....you still have to look at the locked rotor current and surge current.  With the Midnite Classic, it will just shut off the 12 v output if it exceeds 200 mA, and it doesn't seem to have an error message or warning.
