Hi everyone,
I just got my hands on a SubSystem500 which allows the Amiga 500 to have 2x Zorro II ports (like A2000) and an external floppy drive.
It's a very exciting piece of hardware I will restore it carefully.
- The PCB is in mint condition.
- The floppy drive looks really great but will be replaced by a beige one.
- The case needed a good clean and all the screws need replacement, which they will receive.
It's now time to put it back together, but I have one little issue: I do not have the power original power supply and I don't know the specifications of it. Would someone have one and is able to confirm it's only +5V as it seems to be when I look at the circuits? Thanks a lot. I'm interested in knowing the Amps as well.
My intention is to install a small internal PSU inside the 1U rack and to power it directly from the back. I'll replace the DIN connector and the switch for something 240V / 10Amps rated. The internal PSU will have capacity to power +5V and +12V but I will only use the +5V for the Zorro II boards as I believe the +12V comes directly from the floppy cable.
Any hint for the power supply would be appreciated. If you have one of these, please post photos. I will add more pictures if this thread gets some interest.
The SubSystem500 will be connected to an A500+ with internal accelerator and all bells and whistles for classic (not Vampire). Interesting bit is there is a pass-through for the A500 Zorro Port so I should be able to use a GVP HD8. As for the Zorro card I'll be looking at a Picasso II (or GBA PII) and a XSurf3 or Ariadne II network card, which I need to buy, so I'm taking offers too, lol.
