Has anyone (probably!) hacked together a PSU for a C64 using a PC PSU? How
close do the AC lines have to be to a 9V sine wave?
I've got someone offering me an unknown-condition C64/1541/1702 which is
missing its PSU (and possibly the cable between the drive and computer), so
if I do bite I'd be looking to do a quick hack just to see how operational
everything is before I go trying to find a genuine PSU from somewhere.
TBH, I'm not sure what my options are for getting software onto disk,
either - it's not clear whether the current owner has any media at all (I
get the impression that they've just unearthed the machine in storage, but
various bits that they once had have gone missing over the years). A quick
google seems to suggest that there are ways and means though, given that
I'd have a 1541 (if it works ;)
cheers
