Well I have a rapid road in my a1200 checkmate setup however Jens views on this suggest I should be grateful for whatever usage I get out of it:

"We generally recommend to avoid ATX power supplies. Technical data of the PSU in question shows that 5V is not the main regulation rail, which makes is plain unsuitable for an Amiga. Expect trouble, going up to destroying your RapidRoad due to bad regulation of the 5V rail.

While the relatively low ripple of the PSU you've linked to might seem to be good, there's still two more key specifications from Commodore that need to be met. With 5% regulation tolerance, you have at least one spec that's violated, so checking the other ones is of no use any more.

One more time, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. You're just asking for trouble."


I have concluded that if it burns out then I am not going to replace it, and will live without USB in that Amiga, using network for file transfers. Or maybe even a good old CD
