<TITLE>Newbie Power Supply question</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ok, please bear with me :-) I've got a Doepfer 6U rack with one Doep power supply in it (650mA) - it isn't powerful enough to supply all the modules in the frame (just got an AS RS360 trifilter and after blowing a fuse, they tell me it itself sucks 270mA). So I need to add another power supply. En-port has the doepfer ones listed on their site but suggest it'd be cheaper to get one from Radioshack or online etc. So I'm looking at them in the RadShak website and others. I have a couple of questions:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1) What's the diff between regulated and unregulated? Are the doepfer/AS modules indifferent to this or expecting one or the other type?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>2) I see power supplies listed as 12v/xxxAmps, but the modules need +/-12v, and in a few cases +5v as well (I have the little Doep adapter). Do supplies normally put out the -12v as well as the +12v? Radioshack doesn't say much about their units. If not (as in, they only do 0-12v) what's the best way to get the -12v?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3) If someone could link me to a suitable supply (1A perhaps) somewhere inexpensive on the web I'd be greatly appreciative! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks all</FONT>
