If being a purist is less important, there is a PC PS adapter cable available to interface with the A4000 perfectly with plenty more wattage.

hmmm just emailed softhut about the psu uk problem. this psu is for usa 110v, so it wont work with the uk 220v power source. nor do softhut stock the uk a4000 psu i need. so has anyone got any other ideas?

As K7HTH said just use a ATX PSU they are easy to find and get the adapter from Amigakit. The only issue you may have is the +5v wire on ATX PSU units is to small for the curent draw that the Amiga needs so by dubbling up the +5v wires from the ATX PSU this will give you what you need (all +5v wires go back to the same place inside the PSU). On the old amiga 4000 PSU this is the thicker yellow wire. If you still have the A4000 PSU and its dead cut off the connector wires close to the PSU and then physically marret the wires to the proper wires on the ATX PSU leads this will give you the best contact.
