Mar 9, 2019 at 19:21 comment added Martin Cole @ChrisStratton - Based on what I've found out the -5v is needed for the RAM chips (4116)
Mar 9, 2019 at 19:21 comment added Martin Cole @HandyHowie - I've discussed this with another MSX enthusiast who has replaced power supplies and he indicated that the minimum required for the 5v would be 1.2A
Mar 9, 2019 at 18:27 comment added Chris Stratton Might be worth trying to figure out what the -5v supply is used for. Likely it is low current, which could make using a PC supply with a -12v rail and a 7905 linear regulator to provide -5v from that a possibility.

Mar 9, 2019 at 16:13 comment added HandyHowie The current requirements are just as important as the voltage requirements.
