Thanks Kay for the reply, Funny you mentioned this, because I was actually under the desk with my multimeter between posts and came to the same conclusion (Red = 5 Volts). Good stuff! |

The pin header on the IPac has two +5v pins: http://ultimarc.com/ipac2.html |

Whay would they put the lower voltage on the red wire with the higher on the yellow. I know its been that way for donkeys years but it just seems so counter intuitive. :dunno |

It seems the IPAC/4 must get power from the PS2 connector. I think that means you're back to the drive connector (red). |
