Thanks to everyone pointing me to articles on ATX power supplies as
bench supplies. Mine is a very oldAT supply, but I'm hoping that the
same principles apply to it.

I'm sorry for the off-topic question, but can't find a good reflector
for this one, and I figured this diverse group was most likely to
have answers. Please feel free to reply off-list.
10-plus years ago, I built what was to be a bench supply using an old
AT power supply - 5 and 12 volts. It didn't put out any voltage, so I
shelved it - figuring a bum supply. Then just a relatively few years
ago, I read that these supplies required some load on the 5V supply
in order to put out any power on either output. I can't find the
reference now, and am hoping some of the knowledgeable here will have
some info on this.
Thanks for your patience
