Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Gecko 5V supply

a note of caution on this one , tripple check everything

the +5V on the game port is usually tied directly to the power supply
rails on the PC bus and can pull the full amperage of the supply in a
'dead short' circuit (up to 25A@5V)
it might not kill you but it wont be too good for the PC if a wire gets
crossed
