Heat dissipation will be MUCH lower if you do this.
Al, I confess to not having a good handle on this matter of what's
"vintage" and what's not. I was looking at 78xx linear regulators as
being "authentic". I mean, why bother with S-100 at all? There are
plenty of better busses now, right?
I plead ignorance at knowing where to draw the line on this stuff.
