THESE HAVE ALL SOLD NOW. Novacoder got the last one. Thanks to all of you who bought one and paid promptly.If i can locate dins for a reasonable price,i will build more. I hope to make some for cd32 and gvp stuff soon!


I posted this on a.org but thought i would list it here also since it does apply(hope thats ok).I finally make some progress on a long time project!:

Ok guys, i have finally tested (5 months!)my New "international" heavy duty 500/600/1200 psu's to the point they are ready to go out in the world. I have made 3 different labels for them.They run on any input from 100 to 240vac.
I can ship these anywhere in the world(erm.. except nigeria lol)
Specs as follows:

This homebrew power supply project was born out of my need for a more powerful true universal 120v/240v 50/60hz power supply that could replace our aging/failing commodore bricks.I wanted a power supply that was much smaller, completely quiet, had a lighted switch so you could tell when it was actually on,even when unplugged from the computer, more powerful than the original,and works on any input voltage from 100 to 240vac without switching anything! A true International switchmode PSU that will work in any country.
This is a brand new off the shelf UL/CE power supply i found and modified with a lighted green switch and new 5 pin square din connector. Unfortunately the din connectors are so hard to find i only managed to source 15 of them and have built 15 complete power supplies.Technically since i modded it,it would no longer be considered UL/CE...I state this so there is no confusion.

APOWER Desktop Amiga Power Supply Features:
Up to 7amps on the 5v rail (original dsp-A500 is 4.5 amps)
1.5amps on the +12 rail (original dsp-A500 is 1 amp)
.3 Amps onthe -12 rail (original dsp-A500 is .1 amp)
Overload Protection
Short protection
Switchmode power supply
Completely silent with a giant heatsink nearly the full length internally
Runs on any input voltage from 100 to 240VAC - AutoSensing so no switches to change!
Lighted Switch (finally!)
Built By a amiga hardware nut for himself and other amiga nuts
About half the size of the original Commodore one making it much more portable
Includes power cord for 110VAC (5ft long) 1.5 meters
Output cable is (3.5ft long) 1.067 meters
Power Supply measures approx. (5" x 3" x 1.5" thick) 127mm x76mm x 38mm
Powerfull enough to run any desktop expansions including blizzard PPC w/Bvision
Tested for 5+ months on a variety of machines: Amiga 500 w/csa derringer 030/50 and gvp Anet ethernet sidecar,A600 with 2M ram expansion and internal cdrom,Several A1200's-Blizzard 030/50,Dkb 030/40 w/scsi HD, apollo 040/40,blizzard 060 128MB ram,internal cdrom,pcmcia ethernet,dual floppies and also a 1200 with the blizzard ppc 060/50 603/240 w/bvision gfx card in a desktop case.
I have run these fully loaded 24/7 in hot texas temperatures over the summer with no problem.Some of our summer temps resemble that of australia and other places where heat is a problem for electronics.I feel I have created a resilient and robust power supply that should handle most situations.

This is excellent! I needed one while I was on tour!
Are you gonna build more?

[fitzsteve]

Hey these look great

Actually I saw them on eBay this morning whilst I was doing a little search for newly posted Amiga goodies...

I could certainly use one for my A600 which is just powered by stock A600 PSU and has an Apollo 620 inside

Hopefully you still have one in the new year when I've got some spare $$$

Steve.

thanks for the compliments, as of posting them yesterday,( 6 ) are sold and on their way to various countries.

EDIT:ERM,make that 7 sold, another sold right after typing this heh

The problem is not so much of building more,its the lack of the square din connectors. The next batch will probabaly be with used PSU cables.
Building them with the psu cables is alot more work.

Is anyone interested in a CD32 version built with these power supplies?

Couldn't resist.....hope the wife isn't too upset

[dabone]

Have you thought about offering them as a kit so people could use their own connectors from old/broken supplies?


Later,

Definitelly interested on getting one or two units.

However it seems i will need to wait a bit.

I'll spread these good news around.

Cheers.

I could suggest, to include one version of this PSU, with a sort of a DIY kit, to just avoid to find square connectors around prior to a buy, and allow the final user to attach the connector (from defective PSU's) by himself.

That would allow it to be even used on a CD32 if you have an spare connector.

That's a great suggestion!

Most users would be looking to replace a defective or insufficiently powerful PSU anyway, and I have been able to obtain two PSU output leads for similar projects quite cheaply myself (one from an online Amiga reseller and one from another EAB member).
