Apower desktop PSU for A500/600/1200/cd32 are Back!

[mech]

Hey all,
hope u don't mind me posting this here,since so many people are so site specific these days.If its some violation maybe the mods can remove it for me.

anyway, I have been toiling away and searching the world for connectors and have managed to finish building and testing 51 new heavy duty power supplies for the A500/600/1200 and cd32! I have them listed with different color labels(they are all the same psu,just a choice of label colors). I have managed to setup a shopping cart to automate this.

PLEASE make sure your PAYPAL account is verified/confirmed before ordering,failure to do so will delay your order and cause me major headaches! - thanks!

Here are the specs:
------------------
Much smaller than the original.

Works on any voltage from any country 100vac to 240vac. 50 or 60hz

Much more powerful than the original power supply (7AMPS on +5v,1.5Amps on +12v,and .3Amps on -12v).

Uses a standard IEC power cord from any printer or computer(ships with USA cord only).

Completely quiet and no fans.

Lighted power switch - know when its on or off,unlike the original!

Overload Protected - Auto reset when overload is cleared up

Short Protected - Goes into a pulse mode until the short is fixed.Auto reset when short is fixed.

These are intended for desktop machines only, NOT towered machines with zorro/pci expansions!<p>

The second surprise is i have secured a boatload of brand new 3.5" scsi 5-slot card readers!.so what you say? Well these are great for adding compact flash,sdhc,smartmedia,or to your amiga with scsi to use as a hard drive,or even using all 5 slots filled with different cards(a different os on each? mac/pctask partitions?hmm). i have tested them in the A590,gvp A530,HCII+8,on old trumpcards,warpengine,gvp A2000 cards/accelerators,ivs vector,fastlane z3,A4000t scsi,A3000t scsi.these also work on some atari and apple and sampler scsi! they have the latest firmwares and you can hook them right to your 50 pin scsi without any adapters.The bolt anywhere a floppy drive will in most cases.can be put internal in place of the hard drive.all 5 slots fall under 1 SCSI ID with luns..i also have some scsi cables and assorted stuff there,when its gone its gone.

I have set up a online shopping cart with SSL to avoid EBAY this time and the crazy fee's. this also automates the shipping etc and saves me alot of headaches.The price for the power supplies is $42+ shipping(sorry,after the first batch,i tallied the stuff up and made almost nothing after fee's!). Actual shipping is calculated on the shopping cart.Shipping to most of europe/uk etc is around $14 via USPS flatrate small BOX. USA shipping is also calculated.Payment is by PAYPAL only and the cart passes you off to the secure paypal site.
Please understand,i can't control customs and such,but i can guarantee you i shipped the stuff the next morning after you order it!

Oh,you can find these power supplies at http://www.a4000t.com or https://a4000t.com/store they both go to the same place

if anyone has any questions,please feel free to ask.

Hello francesco! good to hear from you again. That was a interesting project how you fit the scsi card reader into the cdtv with the w.a.w. scsi controller.
are the controllers and or a copy of them still available??, i would like to do it with my cdtv also.

Dumb question perhaps, but whats the deal with the labels? Gold, silver, white? Whats the difference? I'm thinking about grabbing one, after i had a chance at checking out my wattage draw on the current one.

B!

There is absolutely no difference in power,i just printed 3 different labels to give everyone a choice of colors.

[Mr B]

Probably the last response i expected. Fair enough. I'll probably grab one at random if it turns out i'm anywhere near the 25w that the original PSU delivers. Might grab one anyway, just to make sure.

Thanks for the info.
B!

As would my A2000, I am sure it is as sick of transferring over null modem @ 19200bps (I certainly am)

I think not.
I buyed mine from Amigadigital some months ago, but i sold out all of them. Now he retired himself from Amiga scene (hoping temporally) for problems in the real life

[mech]

sorry to hear that,i was hoping to get my cdtv fixed up like yours.

Is this suitable for a standard A500 or A1200 as a simple replacement of the 20 year old PSU ? I'm confused with all these desktop and towered systems. I have standard Commodore Amigas!

Yes,they are intended for any 500/600/1200. "desktop" just means it's in the original amiga case and not towered with pci or zorro expansions.

just ordered one powerbrick, and i was really tempted to buy two. I think its so cool that parts are made even in 2011 for our classics.

Received my PSU from Mechy on Monday. Tried it on my A600 a couple of nights ago. Works like a charm. A600 has ACA630 and A603 installed.

Thanks Mechy!
