I assumed they would all be the same, only one style was fixed and required less
componets...
I have 5v regulators that barely manage .5A, 12v ones that give me 1A, and the
317 that is reliably 1.5A, sometimes as high as 2.2A.
Additionally, the voltage regulation is much tighter with the LM317.
I know we're all moving on to switch-mode, but I would have thought the linear
options would have been well sorted out by this date.
