Hi.
A simple question...

I have an old PSU (have been feeding a Intermec barcode scanner) with
+5, +12 and -12 volts.

Now, I noted that the +5 volt actualy is closer to +5.8 volts.

I opened the box and it's a simple 9805 (well two in paralell actualy)
that have the "central" pin connected to ground via a simple 4148 diod
with the cathod to ground. Would this give the extra 0.8 volts on the output ?

Can I simply short the diod to lower it to aprox 5 volts ?
Or could this have something to do with the fact that there is
*two* 9805 connected together (pin 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3) ?
