ATX PSU with Amiga schematic
« on: December 04, 2005, 05:25:08 PM »
For the benefit of prismra, who asked about this, and also anyone else who is interested, here is a schematic of the cable I built to use an ATX power supply with my A1200.



Please check the pinout of your ATX and Amiga power supplies before connecting this. You should also check the output from the Amiga's power connector after connecting and powering on the ATX power supply, to make sure it is outputting the correct voltage for the Amiga. Pins 14 and 15 are connected to each other to make the PSU power up.

Usual disclaimer applies - this worked for me but may or may not blow your Amiga up  :roll:

Ehh, shouldn't the red and the yellow wire go to two different pins on the A1200 connector?

pins 19 and 20 are both +5v (its ok due the thin ATX wires)

@motorollin

You should perhaps mark from which side the connectors are seen (or else someone might mirror the connections, though that should be caught when testing the voltages).

Also, this configuration doesn't work (or rather always works;) for PSUs that don't have the power switch on the back, this config is always powered. I'd suggest attaching the powerswitch between pins 14 and 15 instead of just short circuiting the pins.

No they're connected to the same pin on mine.

You can tell by the location of the square holes.

Quite correct. My ATX PSU had a power switch on the back so I didn't need to do this. But as you say a switch between the two pins would add a power switch to the configuration.

I don't see any square hole on the amiga side connector.

It might be obvious to you (you did draw it after all), but it might not be to everyone else.

Ahhhh yes of course. You can tell by the colours of the wires. When I drew the schematic, I did it as if you were looking at the connector.

The picture is correct. I have the cable sitting next to me  :-)

Where do I get a connector that fits the A1200 power plug?

What's to stop me from just buying a UK 220v PSU for it and using a step-down (?) converter from Radio Shack or something?
