Sega Naomi 2 + Capcom IO power question

[Arcade-Projects]

Hello,

I got a Naomi 2 + Original PSU + NetDim + Capcom IO board and I just made it NetBoot and it's working great. I have a question about power though.

I've seen forum posts mentioning that if I have the Capcom IO, it is capable of powering the Naomi 2 using the power output on it, no additional PSU required. However, others say it's not possible for the Capcom IO to power both the Naomi 2 and the NetDim, and it might damage the Naomi doing it that way.

So which one would it be? I have the Naomi 2 being powered by a dedicated PSU and the Capcom IO takes power from the JAMMA harness, and I'm scared of trying to power the Naomi with just the Capcom IO and take the risk of damaging something.

Any thoughts? Getting rid of the extra PSU would be great, I have a New Astro City cab and I wouldn't like to replace it's original PSU just for this, since I plug the Naomi every now and then, it's not a dedicated machine.

Thanks!
