Default Re: The Transam Triton Personal Computer

I don't think 8.5V will have been so unusual actually, since this need, to feed a 5V regulator with an input voltage not too much higher than the regulated output voltage would have been quite common at one time. The transformer in the PSU for my MK14 came from an old EPROM programmer and that too has 8V (ish) AC output for the same reason.
