We all know that the standard A1200 PSU is a bit weak for much more than a standard A1200 with a ram expansion.
I therefore purchased a Goliath PSU for my A1200 back in the day and it worked perfectly. However it was noisy with the PC PSU fan.
I've recently been running the A1200 with an A500 PSU, which we all know is much stronger and that has been working fine with a setup of A1200 + Ram expansion + 3.5" HD.
However I've now been upgrading the A1200 so was wondering if the A500 PSU will be powerful enough to still work OK with the final setup. It will consist of:
- A1200 with 3.1 roms
- Blizzard 1230 MK-IV with 32MB ram
- 40GB 2.5" HD
- Buffered IDE interface
- laptop CD-Rom drive
- PCMCIA network card
And in future I also plan to be adding a Catweasel MK2 plus PC laptop floppy drive.
So will an A500 PSU power that OK? Or should I start using the noisy Goliath again (would consider replacing the PC PSU inside it for a new quiet one).
