[sdiy] old power supply

[matti]

resist the temptation. those are almost certainly switching power
supplies, which are noisey. In the bad sense. Also, they will probably
require a heavey load on +5V to operate, and have insufficient heft on the
important rails, + and - 12V.

a cheap psu from blacet or paia, or www.mpja.com, is wrth it. this is very
question is periodically brought up by someone or other. check the
archives.
