[Rietveld Rietveld]

How would I use a 12v wall adapter?   Would I need to use the +5v.?

Molex power connect for IDE drives on computer:

2 black wires are ground
red wire is +5v
yellow wire is +12v

Perhaps the drives only use the 12v?  I never investigated that.

perhaps that will help a bit.

P.S. sorry Camillus.
