Jimbronie Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Hey guys, I recently got an Atari 130XE. Works great. However, it has an ingot power supply. I have seen on some other auctions people have removed the connector from the ingot and attached it to a tiny cell phone power pack. Is this advisable? What voltage/amp rating should one use if attempting this hack? Thanks for the info!
RickR Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 5 V DC 1.5 A 7.5 VA Max:varies, 25W 30W 40W Atari#C061982/CA024814600XL,800XL,65XE,130XE,XE Game System(Stole this from the Atari 8 bit FAQ). Safest thing is to find a pin out diagram and measure it yourself on your current power adapter.
RickR Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 PS - Real non-ingot power adapters are available on ebay for about $15 shipped.
Guest brenski Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 or better still, snip the din end of the cable and connect it up to a +5v modern adaptor plug
