Title: Help with PC AT PSU to MICRONIK Z2 Busboard
Post by: magnetic on May 12, 2014, 10:14:02 PM

Hi guys

I am looking for help with a Micronik tower with a PC AT PSU (p8 and p9 connectors) I'm trying to power the busboard with it and apparently there is some sort of adaptor which is no longer made as the busboard input is 8pin. Does anyone know if I can use the A PSU and what I need to do to use it.

Also, of course i'd buy the micronik adpator if anyone has one.

TIA

IIRC MicroniK's busboard can be powered from Amiga's PSU connector too, it doesn't necessarily need power connected to busboard itself. I'm pretty sure I ran MicroniK's metal tower with busboard with modded AT power, which connected to original Amiga's PSU connector.

I actuallyh have an a1200 connector to AT but thats not what I need as the micronik busboard powers the a1200 mainboard from the cpu edge connnector. I wish there were people that could chime in with an exsisting micronik tower setup.

So you think If I use the power adaptor I have (External 1200 psu port to at) that it will power the busboard through the amiga 1200's cpu port?
