I recently picked up the "Platinum" version of the Apple //e (the
white one with the numeric keypad.) It appears to have a dead power
supply. I see a number of PSUs on ebay and parts sites that are
listed as "Apple //" compatible. Does anyone know if the Platinum
used a different PSU than the other //e models? Also, did the //e use
a different one vs. the //+ ?

The II, II+ and IIe all use compatible power supplies. It's the IIgs
that uses a different power supply (although certain IIgs motherboards
can use a II+/IIe supply instead of their own). The one you want has
a 3x2 six-pin arrangement, not one that's straight across (reminiscent
of an IBM PC's AT power supply).
Hope that helps,
Josef

Thanks Josef - with that in mind I'll take a chance on one of the
cheaper ones on ebay. The PSU I have has no voltage on any of the
pins, so it's a safe bet that it's the fault.
