Title basically says it all -- anyone have any recommendations for a
decent power supply for an AIM-65? I have it running right now on just
5V, but I need something that puts out 24V so I can run the little
printer, too :). It'd be nice nice to something small enough to fit
inside the enclosure this thing came in but I'm not that picky. My
searches on the 'net reveal a lot of choices, so I'm looking for advice
on what to look out for.
For those playing along at home, the AIM-65 wants 5V at ~2A, and 24V at
~2.5A.
Thanks!

I don't know where to get one now, but my AIM came packaged with a
steel bottom, a plastic top, and a PSU that has "AIM65" in the part
number and that provides +24V. It looks like many other 1970s
open-frame switchers with a large 1/8" or 3/16" aluminum baseplate and
one or two power transistors, but unlike the others, it has more than
just +5, and +/-12V.
So at one point, someone was making 3"x4"x2" PSUs just for the AIM-65.
Unless you happened to run across some that someone has as a stash of
spares, I don't know where you'd find that exact model now, but it
does exist.

Hi
Supplies for 8 inch drives were 5v/24v supplies. One could also hack
a PC supply to put out 24V as well. There are a lot of these around.
