Looking for power supply for Shugart 801 or Tandon Thinline 848 drives

Hey guys,

What new power supplies can I use to power an 8 inch floppy drive (e.g. Shugart 800 or Tandon Thinline 848?)

Word of caution that the SA800 requires either -5 or -12v in addition to the usual +5 and +24
Make sure your drive is jumpered correctly for the negative voltage. The -5v puts a jumper between
the input and output of the 7905. If that is in, and you apply -12 bad things happen.

this should work fine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196183595642
