[Coco] 5 volt mod.

[John T Chasteen]

Thanks for the circuit information to obtain 5 volt DC from the coco3 
to power the Cloud9 CF IDE Adaptor. I Googled (5 volt regulator" and
found that Radio Shack has a 7805 5 volt regulator (Part #276-1770).

So for I haven't figured out the polarity of the voltage that must be
applied to the CF power connector. Hope I can find this out from the CF
documentation.
