I recently bought a NCR PC-6 power supply to power some hobby projects. When I received the supply, I measured the outputs. The +12V line measured +4.95V and the +5V line measured +4.8V. I have been told that the +12V line will not be +12V until a load is connected to the supply. I was told that the scheme was somewhat like the IBM 'goodline', whatever that is. If this is so, what is reason for this and what kind of load should be connected? Posting is fine but I would prefer email. If there is enough interest I will summarize.
