Hello,

I have an '84 GL since new and have never had this problem. Does this call for a show of hands? Is there something else wrong that cooks these regulators?

One cheap way of getting 10.1 V regulated might be:

______ ubiquitous 5 V regulator. | | +12 V >------------| 7805 |-------------> 10.1 V | |______| | | |-VVVV----| 1K Ohm | | _|_/ / . 5.1 V zener diode /_\ | gnd. >-----------------------------------> gnd.

However, since I don't know the power requirements, this just might smoke too.

Mike
