Amiga 32 CD Question

Hammy · 04 July 2003, 20:06

If someone offered you an amiga 32cd without psu, but with 6 games for £30 would you take it..?

another question, will regular amiga psu's fit it?

ant512 · 04 July 2003, 22:57

Standard PSUs don't fit. They appear to be identical, but the plug on the end is different. The CD-32 uses a DIN plug (5-pin, I think), whilst the Amiga uses a 5-pin square propriatory connector.

so theres no point getting it..
damn..

Hammy · 06 July 2003, 19:37

i just turned it down, now my mate's gonna sell it to some other poor bugger..

ant512 · 06 July 2003, 20:04

You could always offer him £20 and keep an eye out for a new PSU.

Cant believe that they didnt allow the use of standard Amiga PSU's, glad the one i just bought off Ebay for £30 came with one!

EH? there is nothing stopping you changing the plug on a standard a500/a600 psu guys!
Aminet has the required docs that show you how! ive done it already... many years ago in fact!

the only downer is the psu will be beige, but a can of black vynil dye will soon sort that out

EDIT: here is a file that shows you how to convert a pc power supply to cd32! http://de.aminet.net/aminetbin/find?cd32+psu

Just found the specs of the cd32 power port if you fancy using an a500 psu:

no matter another one will turn up sometime..

ElectroBlaster · 11 July 2003, 21:37

m8 if i see one going in my area i will pm you

Hammy · 11 July 2003, 23:20

cheers..

Hammy · 04 August 2003, 23:29

its ok now...

i got one with guess what?
no psu

but it had about 20 games.
and no control pad

that link of the pc psu - 32cd psu, will it work with a standard a500 psu?

and will a 6 buttton megadrive pad do the job for the controller?

killergorilla · 05 August 2003, 00:46

You can't use a 6 button megadrive pad for all the cd32 buttons it just don't work.

PS - You still got info on those games hammy?

Amiga1992 · 05 August 2003, 02:33

I think there was a doc on the Aminet that described how to hack a 6button megadrive controller to act like a CD32 joypad. If anyone finds it let me know, it interests me!

I posted links to this info in this thread. It wasn't on Aminet, but was an old usenet message someone has saved & put on their web site.

umm i actually have a UK spec CD32 power supply sitting here in my cupboard. Was tested about a month ago by an electrician and is working 100%.

Only thing is I live in New Zealand so postage would hurt if you were interested.

Hammy · 06 August 2003, 14:21

well if i cant hack one together, i am gonna have to be interested

what kinda money are we looking at?

Slayer · 06 August 2003, 15:11
