Found the problem! Well, found that there wasnt really a problem, the problem had to do with the way I was measuring the voltage.
Thanks to a conversation with SmashTV on the midibox.org chat server today I worked out that to get the 5v you connect the 5v+ and the 5v ground and to get the 14 v you connect the 9v positive to the 14v+ out and the 5v+ to the 14v + out, resulting in 14v !
So anyway, I now have a working optimal power supply, which is good because I also got a notification from SmashTV that he has shipped my order today. It was sent express so hopefully it will arrive quickly so I can get on with building the midibox.
