Hey Nick,



You're understating the 7805's ability!  You can easily draw 400mA from an

LM7805 with a small aluminum heatsink, say 2" sq.  They're thermally

protected and nearly foolproof. I've never had one fail over the years and I

use them by the dozens in all kinds of supplies.  They're all over my shop.



I power an iPaq 4350 and HX2715 all the time with them.  If the PDA draws

less than a half amp a 7805 will work fine.  If the PDA requires over an amp

(when the battery is dead or the display is cranked) then maybe another

device would be better.



Regards,

Ted
