Hello,

Good table there man! :-) The A500 40-odd WattPSU (old brick style) PSU i use is used to power up: A1200/4g HDD/Blizzard 1260+64MB RAM/1FDD. I have had no problems with this. I didn't even bother attempting with an A1200 PSU, maybe would have blown up. My A1200 PSU was a light/flimsy bugger, much like the one packed in the A600.

The warmest PSU i have known is the old C64 PSU, now they could keep your feet warm! :-)

Regards,

After hearing all this I can't help but wonder why the A1200, which is technically superior and in many ways a successor to the A500 would have a feebler power supply.

Like the great DoomMaster said "Commodore started cutting production costs after the A2000" :-D
