A1200 Power Supply Question
« on: August 04, 2008, 09:03:55 AM »
I have my A1200 running nicely now with a Blizzard 603 + BVision all off an AT PSU, however it only powers up propery (full green light) when the PSU floppy cables are plugged in directly to the motherboard next to the floppy.

I presume that the motherboard can't carry the right amount of current over to power the blizzard 603 + bvision correctly?

If this is true (and please tell me if its not) then is it ok to take the +12 and +5v (and ground) rails over directly from the power supply socket on the motherboard, straight over to the floppy mainboard connector and power it that way, or will it do damage somewhere?

Trying to make it as neat as possible - don't want to have 2 power connectors on the outside of my desktop case if I can help it :)

Is it just the 5v rail that needs going over or do i need to take ground and the 12v rails too? Really dont fancy 2 power cables going in to the amiga desktop if I can help it...
