In my A500 introduction manual it says that I can use 100 mA of the
Parrallel Port 5V line (pin 14). Unfortunately that seems not to be true:
It looks like it is 5V over a 100 Ohm resister: if I draw about 20 mA, the
voltage drops down to about 3V.
(Or am I overabusing my power supply?)

Thanks, Nils Gokemeijer (NJ_GOKEMEIJE@FANDM.bitnet)
