Hm, looking into it, though, it looks like modern ATX
supplies have done
away with the -5v wire (which makes sense, since there's not much that
uses it that can't use the -12v through a switcher/LDO these days).
Perhaps I'll just have to be picky. :-)
Yes, they did. -5V was used only in ISA/EISA buses, seems that PCI
doesn't use that anymore (I may be wrong). Anyways, you can take -5V
from -12V, a 7905 may help you :)
I try to keep "period correct" my old computers. But sometimes (did I
heard "Commodore 64 and the big brick of death!" on the back???) if you use
te puter everyday, it is better to put a beefy, stable and NEW PSU.
