what needs to be said about the picoPSU is that it's not a PSU as you know it. It's a DC converter. To get 120w of power from a picoPSU, you must feed it with a DC adapter capable of giving 10A of 12v. It may not be so easy to find one. (though you can always settle for something less, if you don't need full 120w)


im in the process of testing the pico again with 12v 16A to 18A ( this is all iv got ) what i hope should fix the problem.

if it fails to work i have 2 more tricks which will not fail.

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...
