Help Naomi 2 Noob

Thanks to everyone for the responses. I was able to source a vendor from ebay who sold the cable I was looking for. But now I am concerned as I will be running the GD-Rom for Final Tuned, it's not recommended to use the Capcom I/O to power both the Naomi motherboard and GD-Rom? (Again, I'm running through a Supergun). Would I be in danger of overheating something?

For the record I ran a N2 GD-Rom set-up using the Capcom I/O for over 2 years, no probs!

The GD-ROM just needs 12v and 5v. Any source other than the I/O would do fine. Plus, it won't put un-due stress on the I/O. Considering how much the sucker costs, you don't want to accidentally overload it.

I had my +5v line turned upto 5.82v (without load).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it doesn't or wouldn't work. It's just risky, in general, to supply expensive digital electronics with cranked up voltages.

UPDATE: I am still having issues. I received the power cable that connects the Capcom I/O to the naomi Mobo. When I powered up my supergun, I was able to get to the Naomi checking memory screen. At first, it checked the memory and then went to loading, but then it restarted the process again. Subsequent restarts lead to the screen and checking memory only got through around 15%. Do I have a power issue?

I really appreciate all the comments and help I have received so far on this forum.

Power issue? Most likely. If there is an adjustment for the psu, use it to bring up the voltage. Also, check to see the psu's specs (if you have access to it) inside the supergun. If it's too weak, bringing up the voltage might not help.
