[wxsig] a comment on regulators

[Bill Hosking]

Hi Ken.
The 5 volt version is PT5101, The 12V Version is a PT5102N both from TI. I 
get them from Digi-Key but anyone who stocks Texas Instruments parts should 
have it. There are several different cases, I believe the "N" case is the 
vertical mount similar to the 7805.
