How do I get +5 Volt power source, I'm a noob in this area, any advice?

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:

Thats for an IPAC-2, you think that would matter?

Just as a side note.
This has always thrown me... 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

If you can locate it on there, let me know, thanks!

*sigh* It seems you are correct and I'm an idiot! :hissy: I usually try not to post when I'm not certain, but I thought I was in this case. It seems the IPAC/4 must get power from the PS2 connector. I think that means you're back to the drive connector (red).
