I don't know that you would want to apply 24v across a 12v regulator,
might be less than that to be sufficient, maybe +18 or +15 to kick the
regulator output up to +12 you need.

I just purchased one of these on ebay, but am
unable to find even a
shred of documentation on the web.
It's equipped with a "PC" style 4-pin Molex connector for power,
unlike the more usual 6-pin square connector used by all my other 8"
drives. What I'd like to confirm is whether this unit can actually
run on 12VDC. It does not seem to work correctly with 12V applied,
which could suggest either that it requires 24V or is defective.
What does the stepper motor say, if anything?
