What is -5VDC on Amiga power supplies for?

Sigh...

Many Amiga power supplies (2000, 3000, 4000 etc)have a -5VDC. What is this used for?

So, nothing internally uses -5VDC?

To be clear, I suppose you have to put the 'native Amiga hardware' condition on that. I use BridgeBoards & ISA cards that may require the -5VDC, but those are expansions (though internal).


Yes, without ISA cards I mean. The Amiga shoot boot without -5VDC present, which appears to be the case.
