My Pac cab was at some point converted and has a DC switched power supply instead of the original AC transformer. Since the switched supply seems to work just fine, I think I'm going to leave it in there and just rewire the harness and connect my Pac-man PCB to it. Is there a 'best' way to run a Pac board on DC? I understand I connect the power supply's 5V line to the board's 7VAC inputs, it's 12V line to the 12VAC inputs and ground to the center taps. But should I short the diodes, or leave them and just crank up the switcher to ~5.7V? What about pins E and 5? This page: http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/spies.cgi?action=url&type=pinout&page=Pac.html says to connect them to 5V also, but that seems unnecessary judging by the schematic in the Pac-man manual. Thanks in advance.
