Powering an IDEFile inside a 2/5

<< < (2/2)

Lisa2:
Patrick,
I stand corrected.  I had used this connector to power a cooling fan in one of my systems over 25 years ago, after all this time my memory must be failing me.

Has anyone every established what the intended purpose of this connector is?

Thanks,
Rick

I wondered the same thing.

On my late 2/5, with an original Apple supply, I found only +12v at the connector. If it would have had +5v I'd have used it instead of the floppy supply.

If anyone knows what kind of connector that mystery plug is, I'm sure I can knock together an adapter board to regulate the +12 into +5. Or do the voltages on that connector change if you're using a 1.2 vs. a 1.8?
