A1200 PSU on A500 ?

MrDBUG · 03 December 2010, 02:18

Just have a few PSU questions ..

A) Is it safe to use a A1200 PSU on an A500 ?

I see there is only half the Amps on the +12V line..
How much power does a bog-standard A500 use on the 12V line ?

Ref:

B) And would it be safe to use an extra external floppydrive on this setup ?

C) Is an A1200 PSU supposed to be completely silent ?
No hum or highfreq sound whatsoever ?

D) Can I use a regular A1200 PSU on an A1200 with 4 gig internal CFcard drive and soon an ACA1230/28/64 ?)

D) not sure about it. Will be a hit and miss. If works, don't get tempted to add more gear to your Amiga: the PSU may not cope with all.

C) if there IS a tiny highfrequency sound from the PSU, is that BAAD ? (a little like from a TV).
