Power supply for A1200
Hello, can anyone suggest a power supply for an A1200 with an accelerator card and from where to buy? Ideally one which would fit in an A500 power supply case.

The A500 shipped with a few different power supply types, some bigger than others. However, the Meanwell RPT-50B module (Digi-Key link) should fit in them all with space to spare, and provides 4A on the 5V rail which is enough for most Amiga uses.

Well I am more looking to something like this given I want to put it in an A500 power supply case.
What does "Minimum Load Required" mean? I have a normal ATX power supply but sometimes this does not power up the A1200 with the accelerator card because there isn't enough load on it. Would I still be having this issue? Quote:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...734469871.html But beware, these are not CE/TUV certified, so they are not meant to be sold in Europe. They are not ROHS compliant either, since its a bit outdated product line. By the way there are chinese knock-offs of this PSU module available at Aliexpress for even lower price. I would not recommend them either. |

Any PC will draw plenty of power to satisfy most ATX minimum load requirements, so you'll rarely see them specified when you buy on. But you can often download datasheets for them that will tell you the minimum requirement. As a general rule, the higher the maximum output, the higher the minimum load. So a 300W PSU is more likely to work well with an Amiga than a 750W unit. Meanwell units still have a minimum load, but it's quite low (0.5A for the RPT-60B), and so an Amiga will be enough to let the PSU work well, making them a suitable replacement for the guts of the original unit.
