Amiga PSU

[Puni/Void]

Hi guys,

I've purchased an Amiga 600 which I'm now enjoying. Have installed a CF-adapter with a 1GB card, along with a card reader in the PCMCIA slot from Amigakit. Have also upgraded it with 1MB of extra chip memory.

The problem is that the machine came with an English PSU, which is totally unusable without an adapter here in Norway.

Therefore I was wondering if any of you in the UK are in the need of a PSU? If yes, please give me a sign and we can work something out. I would rather someone that can make use for it get it than to have it gathering dust here.

Is it a standard A600 PSU? If so then they are not really powerful enough to power anything other an an A600.

Wouldn't you rather keep it as a backup?

You could just chop the plug off and put a norwegian plug on.

What kind of plugs do you use in norway?

Hi,

Here's a link to a page that has information on Norwegian power plugs.

The PSU is good for 3.0A.

I'm not that confident when it comes to stuff like that. Is it hard putting on a Norwegian plug?

Anyway, already have two PSU's, so I think I have enough for the moment.

Please give me a sign if you want it.

Not sure about Euro plugs, but wit UK plugs, unless they are the pre-moulded type we can just unscrew them to take the plug apart and then there are three screws holding the three wires (live, neutral and ground) in place.

So if we were changing a plug from a moulded europlug to a UK plug we would just cut the cable, then strip back the three wires to expose some of the copper wire, then feed the cable into a new plug, screw the three wires into position then screw the pug back together.

I think it is one of the first things we are taught in schools to do with electrics.

Ok, that doesn't sound too bad. Thanks for the info. I don't know if the Norwegian cables are similar though, but I can always chop off another cable to check this.
