Converting AT PSU into amiga :-)
« on: October 30, 2003, 08:16:04 AM »
Update on conversion :- Dudes! The conversion with the a1200 and the compaq desktop is coming along really well... but i have hit a flaw. I have done the actual case conversion, the mobo is ready to be screwed in, i have moved the PSU, angle grinded the case, mounted all the drives.. etc but the damm psu wont work unless there is a mobo attached to it (i thought this may happen).. Now i remember somewhere that there is a way to trick a PSU into thinking there is a motherboard on it.. Any ideas? Its one of the older PSU with the split mobo connecter on it. PS.. I have taken photos all the way through the conversion, so i will post them on a.org for you all to splender!

No problem - once it is sprayed there will be a full series of before / after pics posted on my website. Damm it looks like a frankenstein at the moment, but it will look good :-)

Hmm its ok i have lots of PSU - i think either JC's fix or the one with the PowerGood is going to fix it - after all its just a standard PSU looking at it. The wires seem the same as the one on one of the above websites.

@ CF, dude tis ok

Always lick the coil before you touch it. That way you drain the voltage.



Heh Heh

BY THE WAY. THATS A JOKE. PLEASE DONT TRY IT AT HOME

10 points to JCamper - putting load on (connecting drives) kicked the PSU into life. Well Done :-)
Time for the mobo...
