Unfortunately, you're asking the poor little 7805 to withstand a
in-out voltage differential of 200V! Even if it had a Vce,breakdown high
enough, you would still be asking it to dissapate 200W at 1A load. All
this will do fry the 7805 about as fast as you can throw the power switch.
What you really need is a 78H600 :-)
