A570 missing power supply

A standard A500 power supply will power this unit for you.

It should work. I remember that the A1200 supplies are pretty gutless, but I think that it should power a CD-ROM.

If it has a square plug then a computer supply should work. If it is round then it is probably the same as a A590 and/or 1541 (remember the old C64 floppy )

OK some refresher material for my fellow C= friends:  The A590 does NOT have a round power cable nor does the C=1541!  The A590 uses the SAME one as the A500/A570 !!  And the C=1541 uses a regular PC power cable !!!

I actually have a A590 hooked up to a A500 right now.  :banana:

Actually you are incorrect.

There were two revisions of the c=1541. The first had an integrated power supply (connected to an IEC power cable), the second had an external power supply that had a round plug.

The first 1541 was around when the original C64 came out, but when the newer C64C came out the second 1541 was available. The two versions can be distinguished by size and colour. The original was a brownish colour, the second was beige.

I can not remember but I think the second 1541 was called the 1541-II.

As you will see here: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=534 the A590 did come with a round power plug (they could well have had square as well, but I have never seen one). I will confirm from my own experience less than a week ago that the 1541 power supply will power it.

That's enough for Amiga Hardware 101 for today... Tomorrow...

Actually you are the one that is confused! Do you need to repeat Commodore 101? I said "C=1541", which is the ORIGINAL (brown) 1541, and that used a PC power plug.  (The BEIGE 1541C also did!) I never said anything about the 1541-II, which uses a 1541-II/1581 external PS.

But you said the A590 doesnt have a round plug. The 1541-II PSU has 1541 written on it (no sign of 1541-II).

In any case I might take Commodore 101 again, I must have only scraped past last time (like most teachers )
