A2000 Power Supply - AT Conversion?
« on: August 30, 2005, 03:22:48 PM »
Hi All,

Does anyone out there either have an A2000 power supply available, preferably a BigFoot, or know how to convert a PC power supply (AT or ATX) to work in the A2000?

Thanks!

I was reading that file... and Have my conversion pretty much done.  However, shouldn't the jumper change be j200, not j300?

Nevermind... I looked a bit more... and the information on the net was just wrong, I think.  Some of the pages I found online about A2000 jumpers were different than others.  But, I think I'm all set.

Well... I'm using the stock video.  This is about as stock an A2000 as they come.  I have a GVP HC+8 with 8MB of ram on it and a 4Gig scsi drive.  That's it.  Otherwise, it has 2.04 roms and no other expansion.  :)

So, you can see why I don't want to spend the cash on a new or replacement PSU.

I have yet to test it, but i believe I am finished modifying my AT PSU to work.  Hopefuly, the stock video will produce the right tick.

Unfortunately, I get nothing right now.  :(  The power light comes on full, but nothing else happens.  The floppy never starts ticking, and the video never comes on.  :(

I have tried with both the 300 and 200 jumpers changed, no difference.
