Arcade PSUs with quad voltage

I'm working on a Hori. cab and wanting to place inside a JAMMA capable supply and connector, as well as a 12V/5V/3.3V supply with sufficient power to run Naomi setups and not needing the 2nd supply or other JVS configurations with the Naomi adapter. Looking around for quad-voltage supplies, I don't really see any, the arcade ones are almost always 12V/5V/-5V or 12V/5V/3.3V only.

I know the Astro 3.3V and Blast supplies and whatnot have this capability, but I'd rather avoid the odd connectors they use and don't need audio amps, deguass buttons, etc.

Of course, ATX supplies carry all four and I have made adapters at Southtown to reliably power a Naomi GD-Rom rig off a standard ATX PSU instead of a Sega-branded SUN PSU for space savings.

Has anyone configured an arcade cabinet with only a ATX PSU? I don't see why not, unless there are some quad-voltage supplies out there with lugs instead of ATX to simplify the process. Or perhaps, there's a quad-voltage supply out there that I'm not aware of?

Yeah use the ATX...

I think a guy on ebay sells some type of Quad Voltage psu (8 LIner maybe?) as an arcade psu..

Happs also should sell something that you are looking for.

I believe the 8 liners are 5, 12, -5, and -12...did not find anything else on EBay that you might have been talking about. HAPP does not appear to carry anything that carries all four voltages. Some of the photos show an ATX connector, so I bet they do, there just isn't a spec sheet that calls them out.

Looks like ATX is it...

An ATX psu was a life saver when I got my first Naomi setup. My Astro didnt have the 3.3v so I had to look elsewhere for it.
