Hi mate,

firstly, thanks for all your efforts.

I have been following your blog but can't find a way to contact you directly. After your power issues with the dragon, and having had the same problems myself with ti99/4a (Just brought a Dragon32 from UK), i found this little board.

TPS5430 Positive Negative Dual Power Supply Module with Switching 5V 12V 15V Output

I have ordered 3 to try, but from my reading you simply get as 12v adaptor, and wire this in parallel to get +12 +5 -5.

Seems very neat. Take care,

I will built you rom emulator when the dragon 32 arrives.

Hey Paul. Thanks. Those PSU modules look pretty cool. I'll have to order some myself.

You've reminded me I haven't written anything on my blog for a year ;-)

You can usually email me at kernel@[a reasonably obvious domain name starting with k]

Good luck building the ROM emulator.
