 it iiiis aaaaaa.... RT8288A so that's a buck converter, input
anywhere between 4.5V and 26V, and it's tuned with 2 resistors to
create 5.0v.  it's about 75% efficient or so according to the
datasheet.

 so luckily, 5V or 12V input PSU it really won't care.  the caution
about the 2 different plugs appreciated, but i have already done the
part and i know it takes time to redo them and find suitable
replacements and the suppliers and so on, and i'm not hugely keen on
going through that again right now.

 i think a good voltage range is enough to be getting on with: the PSU
only needs to be 10W so i think we're good.
