Voltage Regulator question

[Tim Curtis]

Hi Everyone -

I have an old Garfield Electronics Nano Doc here that I haven't used in
a few years because I wasn't sure what kind of adaptor to use with it.

I just cracked it open and found that it's wired Pin negative and that
the whole thing is regulated with a 7805.  I powered it up with a Boss
ACA120, which is 9V at 200mA and got the +5V at all the appropiate
places.

Is this an okay adaptor to use full time on this piece?  Is 9V too much
to feed a 7805?  I don't believe so, but I could be wrong.

Thanks,


Tim
