There's been a lot of debate about this, but the conclusion that we
came to was that the 28v is only necessary if you use an ADC-powered
display - the only things powered off of it are ADC and Firewire. The
machine will boot and run fine as long as it has a permanent +12v to
that pin (i.e. you could use an ATX PSU with +12v Standby power just
fine if you re-arrange the pins in the connector [most Skyhawk PSUs
have +12VSB, though not all]). It's perfectly within the Firewire
specs to use 12-25v, so firewire devices still work fine so long as
you have a decent amperage on the line.

28V feed on power supplies of Digital Audio, QuickSilver, or MDD.
This may be
listed on the PS itself. If anyone can help me out, it'd be
appreciated. I
am hoping 1.67Amps is acceptable.
