You can use a Commodore 64 power supply on your plus/4 too!
What you need to do is remove the power connector from a dead 64 motherboard
and solder it into where the the Plus/4's power connector is. Fortunately
they are both pin for pin compatible with each other. I have modified one
plus/4 in that way and haven't had a problem since. ;)

I think the connectors are different. If I remember correctly it looks like a
128's square housing with s different pin setup. I'm pretty sure the voltages
are the same though they are in different places.
Maybe he can use the C64 power supply and splice his old connector to the end of
it? He'd have to have the pinouts of both to do this though.

Larry was suggesting he de-solder the Plus/4 connector and replace it with
a C64 connector, which is pin compatible with the Plus/4 connector.
