-5V Mod for ATX Power Supplies
This little PCB is creating the -5V power rail from the -12V rail.
Some older ISA cards require the -5V as a reference voltage. Unfortunately, with the introduction of ATX Power Supplies, this voltage became less important and was eventually removed.
Modern ATX power supplies do no longer deliver -5V.
Nevertheless, with adapters, it is possible to use ATX power supplies to run retro hardware.
With the -5V missing, some hardware may exhibit unpredictable behavior.
An example is the Creative Sound Blaster 2.0 which does not create sound output when -5V is missing.
Since ATX power supplies are way more reliable compared to old AT power supplies,
a solution to re-introduce the -5V rail is necessary.
Fortunately, -5V is only used as a reference voltage and does not need to deliver much power.
Therefore, a simple linear voltage regulator mod is enough.
In this video, you can see one use case for this project:
