picoPSU-120
« on: April 22, 2010, 01:15:07 AM »
Ok, just about to get one of these, I know there have been some horror stories about these, true? Anyone using it? Caveats you might add? I am going to build an even smaller g1200 that should be pretty cool. Will be:

2"H 17"W 11"D

G1200, A3000D, A1200 PPC AOS4.0C

I can not find the thread here but someone blew up an a1200 with this. They were soldering to the MB I recall, so could have been user error...

I think it should work great with an adapter from amigakit.

Um looking closer I don't see it providing a -12v...

I should be safe, I won't be adding a PPC and a lot of stuff. My thought is to use less, low power stuff like CF card and DF0: terminator. Maybe an accelerator, but right now, it will just be an 020 A1200 with WB 3.1, super clean and quick.

Do plan on using the PCMCIA slot with a CF or SD adaptor for transfers.
Should be fun, getting one of these, with the switch...

I will need to cut off the end and solder it to my MB - no connector on the board, just pins left, like in the pics above...
