external PSU for +5V
« on: March 25, 2007, 07:01:58 PM »
I'm looking for a good power supply (small, cheap, reliable) that can provide +5V only. I need it for external PC floppy drive that can draw up to 1A. I'd like to purchase one on ebay, but don't know the keywords. (is there some laptop, console.. anything that uses +5V only?)

PS. I'm sure the floppy doesn't use +12V

thanks all, I'm still pretty sure its only +5V, its NEC FDD and I've opened it and checked PCB traces. (Unless its multilayered PCB, nothing is connected to +12V pin.)

I have found this
cheap thingy on ebay. It looks very interesting and its very very cheap. Wonder if it could be used to power some Amigas, too?
