I'm finally getting around to building a Gun and I got a quick couple of questions.
First off, just to give you an idea, I'm using a PC power supply... AT as it should be.
1. When soldering up connections, I've got a 2 amp fuse on a +5 line and a 10 amp fuse on a +12 line. Would I be able to connect every +5 jamma connection to this one +5 line, or would I need more than one? Same question about the +12. I can't see any reason why I wouldn't be able to split off all the necessary connections from the one +5, but I just want to be absolutely sure about that.
2. I need the gun to be CPS2 compatable (along with other PCBs), so I'm wiring up a -5v line as well. I read somewhere (forgot where) that it was OK to leave this wired up (without a switch) when hooking it up to an MVS board, because there simply is no contact on the MVS board for where the -5 line goes... is this true? I don't want to wire this up without a switch and then realize after I get an MVS board that it was the wrong thing to do, and have to add one afterwards.
As always, thanks in advance... the community really pulls through for each other on this board, and it's good to see.
