Step 5Wiring the ON/OFF switch
I finally caught a break in the project and was able to use a microswitch, that was part of the original floppy drive to turn everything on/off. The microswitch was a simple pushbutton momentary-type, that was pushed close when the floppy drive door lever was turned down.
I didn't check it out, but assumed that the microswitch wasn't rated for the 12V, 2A that the amp would be using . . . thus, the microswitch was used to control a relay. The relay was also something that I had laying around, they can be had at radio shack or even auto-part store for a few bucks (see supplies list)
