Hey everyone,
I had an interesting thought today. With my Vantec controller I find I'm only really using the voltage range of 3 - 5v. I don't need any higher. However, because the input is 12v the range is 0 - 12v and so I'm only using about 25% of the dial ranges on the front panel making the movement very imprecise.
So would it be alright if I changed the molex connector to make the 5v line go into where the 12v should go and thus would it give me a range for the dials of 0 - 5v ?
Or would it blow the controller up?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
p.s. I'm fairly sure the DC-AC inverter for the cathode tubes would be unusable, but I don't use them anyway.
