Re: Tiny little ATX supply.

[PZ <skierpaul@yahoo.com>]

James Littlejohn had something similar that he demoed at Kfest this
year.  It was a board with a 2.5"x2.5" footprint that took a 12v DC
input off of a Wallwart and converted it to +12, -12, +5 and -5 volts
in the GS.  It created a cavernous amount of space inside the
machine.  It created enough room that someone could be able to
internally mount both a 3.5" floppy and a half height CD rom drive
inside the case if one desired.  The WallWart was quite small in size
as well.  The GS draws far less power than a modern PC notebook does
these days.
