jerash Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 hey DIYers, escpecialy SID users :As you vampirize old C64, i did the same with some Atari ST from a friend to get the ym2149 chip but also the PSU (Power Source) from the computer.here's a (bad) picture : http://www.jerashmusic.net/raf/ataripsu.jpgLet me give you the details :Input : 220/240V 50WOutput : - 5V , 3A - 12V, 1.6A ;DSo you can have the power for the Core module AND the SID board in a single reliable package !You only need a few screws ...does anyone have previous experience with that ?it all looks goodRAF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hi RAF,that one looks like a switching power supply. I'm afraid to remember that these do not work because the circuit does not draw enough current from the PSU. Though it might be different if it supplies an all-stuffed 4 SID synth...Regards, ilmenator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerash Posted July 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 hi,this alim doesn't look like a "switching" one. If you compare with the PC ones. It is all a normal transformer with diode bridge, rectifier (one for +5v, and another for +12V) etc... I might be wrong nevertheless.RAF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Okay,I thought the transformer looked quite "small" - on the other hand, the Atari is a relatively small computer with few components (compared to today's machines). I'd say you just try it out and tell us your results!Best, ilmenator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
