I would soooo love to run my C128D, but I can not find
a power supply
for it - The use of the proprietary plug has been a pain, and I have
more than once been 'just about to' put a commonly available power
socket on to the box.
Does anybody have any ideas?
I don't know about the -D model, but the plain C128 uses the same power
connector _although not the same PSU_ as some Amiga models. Possibly you
could get a dead PSU from one of those and raid the plug from it.
The plain C128 needs +5V and an isolated 9V AC input IIRC on a DIN like
plug with a square outer shell and 5 pins in a quincuncial arrangement.
Alternatively solder wiees to the right points on the PCB inside the
C128D and run them out to a normal connector. You can easily reverse that
(desolder the wires) if you get the right PSU.
