having 2 PSU options on the same c64 Plug / CORE (c64 and 14v)


ganchan

Recommended Posts

in the c64 power plugs there are 2 free pins.

i'm thinking to use this to connect a 14v modified psu with the same c64 male plug. so i can use the original or the 14v one.

but i know that 7805 must not stuffed into the core and 2 pins must shorted.

a) can i leave the 7805 soldered when i connect the c64 PSU?

b) the optimized psu circuit will receive the Voltage form the SID and CORE when the 14v mod it's plugged. this will be bad for noise/dropping etc.?

i'm doing some test but more prof. member can suggest me ho do it (without a switch better) i've NO space.

regards.

That's a good question indeed Stryd maybe Ganchan could be/should be more clearer....maybe he wants to connect a washing machine or a hair dryer. :-\ :o ;D :D ;)

an hair dryer!! i'm bald obviously!

i'll try to explain:  ;D

my SID have the optimize psu circuit inside ok?

c64 psu use 4 pins ok?

the connector have 6 pins ok?

i want to take a 14v psu, cut the connector, and replace with the c64 one, and connect to the free pins the negative and positive ok?

so i can plug or the c64 psu, that use him own pins, or the 14v psu, that use the 2 free pins.

on the sid/core side, the female connector had c64psu

4pins +-5v / +-9v -> connected to the optimized psu, -> and than to j2 core j2 sid +5, j1 sid +9;

2pins+-14v connected to j1 sid converted to +9v 7809, to j1 core that convert with 7805 +5v, from here to j2 sid.
