The biggest issue is that you need to get one with a -5v feed. If it lacks this, ISA cards may not work. Make sure you look at the specs for that -5v feed. It seems that sometime around 2001 or so (I'm guessing), this was removed from the ATX spec. Most PSUs out there today do not have it, as I found out when I tried an ISA card and the system would lock up during boot.

The one you linked to does have -5v, so it would work out fine.

150W might be pushing it because that's peak output not continuous. These systems, with lots of 3D cards, can go over 100W.

Yeah, I was a bit worried about the -5, and it's funny how on the specs page it dosen't say -5, but in the pic here: http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/produc … -707-002-03.jpg it does say it supports -5.

I thought -5 wasn't all that important unless you get an ancient ISA card like the LAPC-1. Hmm....

Soundscape won't work without it. It's the card that I had trouble with. It's actually the only card that I tried without -5v.

My solution would be a non taken path. Old power supplies are very inefficient. I'd use my 80plus ATX, by getting a $7 ATX y-splitter http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=7898 and rewiring or adding for one end to do AT. Cost is price of the splitter and chore of rewiring for AT. Efficient use of power, even compared to using a separate 80plus power supply.

Rewiring isn't an option I'd like to take... plug and play baby.. I'm lazy 😀

Maybe you can have it without rewiring:

The question is if you can easily connect it to the chassis' power switch. And of course if the respective ATX-PSU has the -5V line swaaye mentioned.

I don't know much about this, but I have an older Enermax EG301AX that has a "-5V = 1A" line in its systems specs. Swaaye, does this automatically mean it's with -5V support? I mean, the PSU feeds a S370 mobo with two ISA slots, and the ensoniq soundscape in one of them runs without problems so far.

As you need the adapter and the ATX PSU, you might end up at 30$ as well...

😖 ...or even more, as a cheap, crappy ATX-psu would not make any sense.

Well some friends were buying some other newegg parts, so I just decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on that PSU... saved myself some $ on shipping since I was buying w/ other people.

I'll of course respond back on how it works out once it arrives.

Good find silent loon. Even if it's $30, at least it can be efficient power supply.
