A1200 tower PSU issue - help

[carvedeye]

I have an A1200 that I towered in a Noblesse tower from Revanche LLC some years ago.

Its PC power supply since died. I went to replace it but found that no modern PSUs have the Six Pin Auxiliary Power Cable needed to mate with the custom cable that the tower came with, that plugs, in turn, into the A1200's rear power input.

I bought a standard PSU and wired it up to fit with the end from the dead PSU, but now I am having issues. My A1200 won't boot -- sits on grey screen most of the time. I think it's a power issue.

Where can I get either a PC PSU that has that Six Pin Auxiliary power connector OR a more modern cable to mate with a current PC PSU and plug into the A1200 back input for power.

Yes, I am feeding power into the A1200 mobo via the floppy power connector.

Thanks.

If you can wait a week im pretty sure i have one of those that you can have, all you need to do is pay the postage. I going to the airport in the next half hour for the family holiday but will have a look for it ( i think it is in the loft ) when i get back.

Well blakespot says in his first post that he needs a Six Pin Auxiliary Power Cable and provided a link in the same post that has a picture of a six pin auxiliary power cable identicle to the one in the image i posted so assumed it was the same ?

I also see that in your photo you are showing a p8 and p9 AT psu not a six pin auxiliary power cable from an atx psu?

exactly...

but check the voltages at the motherboard connector before plugging it in to the A1200, or you'll quite possibly end up with a dead Amiga!

If you connected your old wiring adapter to the ATX powersupply, simply matching colours, you would have been applying 3.3volts, where its meant to have -12volts... :/

Ah i see what you mean...oh well atleast i tried i suppose
