I have had one of your PSUs since January over here in the UK :)

My A600 with ACA630, A603, 2 external floppy drives, PCMCIA LAN card, sound sampler, and various other accessories has had heavy and frequent usage since then, and the power supply has been perfectly rock-solid :D

Simply cannot recommend it enough, it's a great power supply. I've had people ask me where I got it from - really nice to see you've made another batch, I'll point them your way. :)



Cheers! :)

No,sorry the pcmcia slot wont run ethernet cards and such,just a pcmcia to CF or other style card adapter.

I will second those remarks.  I have had mine for a few months and find that it works flawlessly with my A600 and it's ACA630/25MHz accelerator.  It is also much nicer looking than the original brick Amiga PSU's and the lighted switch is a nice feature to show that it is off or on from a distance.

Nice to know that you have made another batch Mike and I might even buy a second one for my backup A1200.  If you ever consider making a more powerful version that is capable of powering my A1260 w/256mb RAM, SCSI module, IndivisionAGA & Subway USB, let me know, as the ATX PSU conversion I have for that system is old and questionable these days.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

OK, ordered a card reader and cable.  That should look good mounted in my A4000 and I can connect it to the unused SCSI port on my CPU card.

Thanks,
 Well, i had considered at least making a few white ones,but these are off the shelf in black. I thought about painting a few and putting them up but after stripping 600+ wires,and making 600+ solder connection,drilling 60 switch holes,and trimming 60+ labels to fit, and testing the power supplies, i guess i had run out of steam :)))

You were the only person to request a white one i'm afraid.I may still do one or two up for kicks. i will let you know if i do.
