+====ATX PC Power Supply====
+Here's the standard PC power supply to compare to Amiga's needs.  Nowadays, there is seldom a -5V power line. If you can find an old AT power supply you're almost guaranteed a -5V. Keep an eye out at yard sales and thrift stores. A quick and easy indicator is if a 5.25" or 3.5" drive is in the PC. This //usually// means it is an old power supply so the -5V may be there.

   * /PSON activated by pressing and releasing the power button while the power supply is in standby mode. Activating /PSON connects the power supply's /PSON input to ground, thereby switching the power supply to full-on condition.
