Hi, I have a Mighty Might board which I believe is 233 mhz (it has a pc card in it) and 64mb ram. I also have a 7? lcd panel attached to it. I am trying to find a very small power supply that can power the unit. It has a 4 pin connector on it (like you would see on the back of a floppy drive), do you know how to power this thing? One side of the four pin connector says +12 and the other side says +5. If I plug in the floppy connector from a computer (that is running) everything seems to work, but obviously I cannot use a full size power supply. I am looking for an ultra small solution. Any help you can be would be great. Thanks! Jason Braverman |

Well some of the external drives (CDROM/HD) have power supplies to power the hard drives. Maybe you can find such a case at the Goodwill/DAV for a couple buck, maybe you can salvage it? X |

I'm not sure why you can't use a normal power supply - does it need to be portable - in which case, what's powering the board? |

Well I can easily get a power supply from radio shack in a variety of voltages and amps etc... I just don't know how to wire it up. |

Forget to say... my point being - can you not power it off the same thing as the Mighty Might board? (you can get adapters if you need more than one "floppy connector" - for say, the real floppy drive and this panel... |

Yes it would need to be very small, and it can plug into a wall outlet. So I am looking for a small way to power this board that will take up the least amount of space. |

1) What are you actually doing with it. 2) What is powering whatever the LCD panel is connected to |

a 7" LCD is attached to the motherboard and gets its power from the board. I would like to mount these components on a wood board to use as a demonstration. I also want the smallest power source I can get. I do not want a large power supply sitting there (or even behind the wood board). So I am looking for a solution. |

Oh... so it needs to power the motherboard and the LCD - sorry, missed the point a bit there. http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Power_Supplies_non_ATX_95.html have some small power supplies - if you needed to go smaller I reckon you'd have to custom build or get someone to do it for you... |
