Hi folks,
Talking about missing AC PSUs does anyone know the power requirements of the
SV328? I got one recently and it's missing it's power.....the socket on the
machine is identical to the TI99/4A, but the TI99 PSU kicks out something
like 8V and 16V instead of the usual 5 and 12.
Anyone got one handy?
cheers

Does anybody know anything about this thing?
The local
thrift shop
has one that they claim works (but they don't
know how to
work it), with
everything but an AC power supply. It comes with
a very
broken box, or
pieces of it, instruction manual and a Basic
tutorial. The
sticker on
the back says 1985. The console itself is
cosmetically perfect.
Is this a little LCD computer? If so, basically, that's all
there is to it.
I liken it to being an oversized Tandy Pocket Computer in approximate
power and programmability.

Here, the front of my power supply reads:
SPECTRAVIDEO
POWER SUPPLY
MODEL NO: 318 - 202
EXPANDER SV-601 USE ONLY
INPUT: 120VAC 60 Hz 65W max
OUTPUT: PINS 1,2 14V 2A
3,4 6V 3A
The output plug is labeled thusly:
-----------
1 -> | * * | <- 2
3 -> | * * | <- 4
-----------
I would guess, with outputs rated at 6 and 14 volts, that this is an
unregulated supply.
Here's some stuff from the user's guide:
* the power supply module pictured with the system unit is identical in
appearance to the one I have, though is listed as model SV201. My power
supply is, according to its label, for use only with the SV601 7-slot
expander. I don't own an expander. I don't seem to own an SV201.
* The pinout reference at the back of the manual is limited to I/O ports
and does not list anything for the power input.
* IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME AT THIS POINT WHETHER THE POWER SUPPLY I HAVE WILL
OPERATE AN SV328.
This is all the information I have at my disposal. If nobody else is able
to provide definitive information, perhaps it will prove useful as a
starting point for you in your research.
ok

I have a PSU here labelled FOR SV318/328 USE ONLY, so I do not know about
the SV328 II.
It is labelled Input AC 240V 50Hz 35 W (this is Australia!)
Output AC 16V 0.8A
Output AC 9V 1.5A
I hope this helps.
