Now that you say... It was without transceiver. Yes, AUI uses the +12 V
too. So you need to feed it more then a few mA if a transceiver is
used. But +12 V is no big problem. Many PSUs supply it in addition to
+5 V. (Think of SCSI boxes...) The -12 V is "unusual" and you can get
away with that inverter circuit in case of the ELC. (E.g. the MAX232 RS232 transceiver IC uses the same charge pump technic.)

I can't remember. It should be trivial to measure whith a Ohm-meter.
(I am to lazzy to dismount my ELC box now.)
