Is this a legit way to wire a Gauntlet board, bypassing the aux. sound board?
I found a resource for wiring a Gauntlet board using a standard switching power supply, in place of the +15v/-15v aux. board, but it seems a bit haphazard.
Here is the curious bit:
"The Gauntlet pinouts on spies.com show +15VDC and -15VDC on pins 6 and 9. I just hook these up to +12 and -5VDC respectively, as you can see in the table above. They also show +SENSE on pin 2, and -SENSE on pin 5. You can leave these unconnected, but they are connected to the +5V and GROUND rails on the board, so I chose to connect them to +5V and GROUND as well."

I'm tempted to try it, but is this safe? -5 and -15 seem no where near each other.
