Hi,
I am restoring a TRS-80 Model 4 computer and adding a number of additional internal drives to it.
When testing the computer with just one Teac 55B 5.25" floppy drive with the stock power supply I see some 'shrinkage' on the CRT display even though I've rebuilt the stock power supply and replaced the caps.
I've already added the following +5v and +12v power supplies to power the additional 3.5" floppies and a cooling fan. I chose the separate power supplies because of space restrictions in fitting all of this in the original case.

I've figured that I can just bypass the original p.s. altogether now to save strain on it and power everything from these 2 additional power supplies but how would I go about powering the 5.25" floppy which requires both +12v and +5v from separate supplies supplying these voltages?
Thanks!
Tim
