Will a C128 power brick be able to handle an Amiga

to have a higher rating than the Amiga 600 brick I have (for that

No. Bad.

5 9VAC (opposite phase) -12VDC
The obvious other thing would then be the lack of a power switch.
The C=128 supply won't work on a Plus/4 either.
The A600 supply has the same pinout as the A500 supply, but I'm not
sure about the ratings. At least you won't burn anything up (except
maybe the PSU) trying it.
I did some looking and it appears that the A600 supply is most
powerful of the A500/A600/A1200 supplies! However, as I got the A600
(and a pair of unstable A1200's) well after the A500, this is a
pretty good indication that I have an A500 power supply somewhere.
The odds are, wherever that is, is also where one of my *good* Wico
Joysticks is :^)
