Hi Chiark, although the USA psu is 60Hz INPUT, the outputs are DC, i.e. direct not alternating current. This means a UK 50Hz INPUT PC psu will output the same +5,-5,12V DC as a USA one would do in America. The input frequency does not matter, its all converted to DC. Do make sure you use a 240VAC psu in the UK tho ;-)

Hi Chiark,
I did a PC AT supply conversion for my A1200T so that is the only one I truly understand and that did not have any alternating waveforms input to the Miggy.
Does the A1000 have an internal psu then ? If so I suppose its feasible since some other large case models have their 'tick' signals.
If its an external psu however I would be very surprised if there is any 60Hz pulse. I will however hide my hat just in case. Oh yes, and less of the ........ please, I am trying to help you and you have not informed us of your competancy level with Amiga or electricity, so I am simply trying to assist......
