Poof go the power supply!

[Roj]

Just how much of a task is it to convert an AT power supply to one that will
work with an A4000 desktop in an Elbox Power Tower? Does it require anything
other than swapping the power connector with the A4000-type connector?

On a side note, is 230W enough power to power five Zorro cards, 2 CD ROMs
and 4 hard drives? I'm trying to figure out what would cause mine to go poof
in the first place.

Nope, still has a full tank of Blue Smoke(tm) on supply! It should be ready to go once it's got power back. :-D

I've got an AT supply on hand now. The wires and voltages match the connector of the 4000 power supply, so as long as it's just a matter of splicing the connector onto the new supply, it should be all set.

...I hope.

Hi all,

Just wanted to let everyone know that swapping out the old power supply for a new AT power supply was really very easy, and my older A4000 is once again running smoothly.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
