Title: Will this plug work in a CPC 464
Post by: Dombalurina on 22:53, 23 July 17

I'm reassembling the retro room and I notice the mp1 that I'm using is looking a bit old. Given the exploding gx4000 PSUs,I decided to replace it.

Before I plug this in, can someone confirm that Arnold won't go up in flames if I do: https://uk.rs-online.com/mobile/p/plug-in-power-supply/1217173/

I'm sure this is right, but there's a little voice in the back of my head that won't shut up so I feel the need to triple check.

Should be OK as the 464 doesn't need anything more than 5v. I'm running a 6128+ and a hxc on a similar PSU. It's the CPC disk machines you need 12v for due to the disk drive in em, mercifully they dropped back to 5v for the later models.

So 5v should be just fine for your 464.

Gone through all the Dizzies again almost. Up to Spellbound but I'm not sure I've enough time to do it all in one run! :laugh:
