Why ask questions if there is no purpose.

So I thought too. I just didn't see the point in why you were lying about it.

Anyway, now we know.

There is of course more than one reason for why TI put the heavy duty clamshells around their cards. They acted as a heatsink too.

Thanks for the thing

the problem is the overheating of the regulators on the cards, to reduce this you have to reduce the voltage at the input of these regulators, you need a difference of 3 volts between the input and the output of this type of regulator, except that the power supply of the PEBOX is much higher than the theoretical 16 volts or even more with little load. Texas had planned for solid

I was referring to the regulators for the floppy drive's power lines, not the unregulated power going to the cards.

Fortunately, if you placed two half-height drives in the box, then their power consumption was usually lower than the older full-height drives'. I have two Teac FD-55B i my box, and that works fine.

For the regulators of the floppy drives it is especially the motor which is consumer as this one does not turn permanently the two regulators 12 and 5 volts which support 1.5 A max are sufficient with two drives
