[Coco] Coco1 and IDE HD power

[Rietveld Rietveld]

Just curious. Why does the drive need both 5 and 12v.   And I assume that the computer power supply converts from ac to DC? I thought it would be ac only?

You may need two wall wart, a +5V DC (about 0.5A -- 500mA) and a +12V (at least 1A -- 1000mA). Just make sure they have DC output, not AC. Will say in the text on the wall wart.  Frank Swygert
