Apologies - my error. My mind was elsewhere

Due to the use of stabilised PSUs with limited adjustment. The
PandaBoard has an onboard over/under voltage indicator, and is happy
with 5.00v. A pre-ES board that I acquired had a blown chip to the
indicator which I had to replace, and that suggested an extreme
overvoltage (the board actually survived). The casual use of vague PSU
voltages for the RPI makes me very nervous!
