- The -5V is used for outgoing serial transiever (not sure if it's used
- anywhere else). I had a problem with my Supra 288, would not talk to the
- 1000 above 9600 baud. My situation is a little different as I've mounted
- my A1000 in a tower case and had a teckie friend modify a PC power supply
- to replace the original supply. At the same time he left a -12V line
- hanging out. I simply pulled the outgoing transiever's minus supply pin
- out of the socket and connected it to the -12v wire, problem solved.
