3.3V Power Supply

["Peter George" <petergeorge@lineone.net>]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thanks to everyone who replied to my query.

When I bought the Specification CD, I had no idea that version 2.2 was so
new. There was no indication on any of the specs that it would be a great
idea to read the old versions as well.

Anyway all is not lost. I have since discovered that all the 3.3V lines on
my motherboard are all connected together, and all come back to a spare
unused connector. It is just the case that my PC power supply doesn't
provide 3.3V. I am currently using an external power supply during testing
of my prototype, until such time as I can upgrade to an ATX supply. I have
also found a supplier of ATX Form Factor motherboards.

Thanks again to all who replied.

Pete.
