Amiga 1200 with internal PSU. Is it possible?

[ws1968]

I want to put a PSU inside my a1200. Something like a picoPSU. Has someone done this before?

I'm looking for a manual/pics or tips of how to do it.

Cheers,

OK, thanks for the info. At work we have a dozen or so old Dell notebooks. I'll see if I can do something with powersupply of one of them.

You could definitely do it... consider hacking a small laptop power supply and fitting it under the keyboard between the floppy and hard drive.

We also have some old thin client PC's wich I can butcher. I'll see if the PSU is small enough to fit in the A1200.

Hmmm. it looks too big, but i'll let you guys know.

Have a look at my photos. Theres a small PSU there with all of the required rails and ratings that might just fit (Called: Alternative PSU ?). Unfortunatly (Or fortuntunatly) all of the components are approximatly the same physical height, so re-locating one or two would be a bit pointless.

Although he manages to write in the most confusing manor I've ever seen Delshay's project 5 apparently does exactly what you're asking about. Just have a look at some of his other photos and maybe try PM'ing him for more information.

I've seen his effort.... I like hacks, but this one is too advanced for me. I'm not that brave

Hey, what are you actually looking to use the A1200 for anyway?

Nothing special. Just WHDLoad. I want to do this just for the fun of it.
