Found A590 Power Supply

[flashjazzcat]

Hi - just obtained an A590 hard disk with no PSU. Could probably fab one up, but I'd be interested in a cheap original if anyone has one on offer.

I'm fairly sure I used an A500 power pack on my a590.

Are you sure? The A590 has a round connector like the CD32 and 1541-II PSU's.

Does it? Mine was the A500 fitting on the a590 I'm sure (ish)

It's a simple job to change to plug if the voltages / amps are the same.

Your correct, the A590 has a round connector. Its the same as a CD32 connector.

amigakit sell molex to CD32 connectors.

If you search on here in AmiOracle, I did post the pinouts for the A590, so that you could use an A500 power supply, as that is what powers mine.

Cut the square plug off, wire a 4-pin DIN up and Robert is your Uncle.

Edit: Found the pinouts - my thread was over at EAB. You need a four pin DIN plug and it wires up as follows...

Pin 1 - Red (+5v)
Pin 2 - Black (0v)
Pin 3 - NC
Pin 4 - Brown (+12v)

White (-12v) - not connected - cut this off and tape the cable over, to prevent a short.

I hope that this helps.

Great info - thanks! I guess I'll be looking around for an Amiga PSU to mod now (I have two, but one's stone dead).

Found a second PSU for £1.20 on eBay, so once I have that and the DIN 4, I'm good to go. Thanks!
