A1000 and my 1060

[Gebrochen]

My first ever owned amiga, got it when it first came out, and only now it gives me a couple of slight issues.

Actually, not the A1000 itself, just the sidecar.

was wondering, if I can simply use like a small laptop psu or something to replace the current (no longer working ofcourse) one on my 1060 sidecar??

No one in aug is 100% cetain, and thought I could get a quick answer here, rather than buying a 20 dollar psu, only to chuck it, and waste my time.

the second issue is no point in mentioning yet, as tommorrow im off to our club meet, to hand to one of our guys to see if he can fix it for us.

any advice or links welcome.

Were it possible for you to send a couple of pictures of it?

 :-D

Thank you very kindly, I was almost afraid to even post such a simple question after my last simple posting of yes or no answer.

I will look at photos, and should be able to fix it next week or during the week.

Have a nice night/day.

 :lol: (am in our country)

EDIT:
Dude, that is awesome gear you got there versus my simple A1000. Im also currently using A1200 with 3.1roms, and noticed quite often, a lot of older games dont wish to play, even when loading workbench 2.0 or less from the kickscreen, or holding down the mouse buttons to select what mode to use.

Was wondering, now that your using 3.1 on your a1000, if you have noticed any problems with old game loading??

Thanks.

You know, it took me a moment to realise why a fuse would blow out.

Luckily they came in six packs, gave me and sammy a chance to test out some things. We soldered off a resistor(blue), then tried it again, and the fuse didnt blow now, but it still doesnt work, so I am going to change the psu for sure now.

So again thank you for your help

About that other problem I was having:
It seems the large 5 inch floppy drive is a simple problem case scenario of, the metal that holds the disk into place, has simply come out of position, and so, I think I may either glue it back on, or muck around with some tape, for a temporary fix.

Meanwhile Iv been way too busy doing floppies via xcopy, to try and get some 3 1/4" floppies into the scheme, just in case my 5" one really does fail me completely one day.

Man, got heaps to go, something like 2000 floppies.

Insanity.

As for the PSU, thanks for your tips, Ive asked a friend if he needs his old PSU from his x86 hardware, and so I have found a donor.

Cheers.
