A500 GVP hard drive question
« on: June 06, 2003, 03:30:36 PM »
does this thing need its own power supply, or does it leech off the A500 ?

You mean the GVP Impact II Series ?
I also have one of them on my main A 500

Yes it needs a power-supply and you have to power on the GVP before the AMIGA.

Hope this helps

AFAIK you need the original psu.
but if you get the Voltages and the Pin-Layout
you can build one yourself...

thanks for the help guys!  I cancelled my bid.  No use buying something and then not being able to use it because it needs its own PSU.

?

the A1200 psu will not work on a GVP hard drive, correct?  I have a few A500 psu's..but the A530 uses its own type of connector right?
