And thusly were the wise words spake by arcarlini at
iee.org
I'd see it as no different to making do with a modern fan if the
original had gone south, or replacing the bearings with a
modern equivalent. Or even powering a C=64 from something
that lasts longer than a day before giving up the ghost :-)
I use a slightly modified C128 supply to power my C64. It has
a side benefit of supplying enough current for when I use the
SuperCPU.
Cheers,
