#Amiga 4000 Pwr.Supply?
Recently we purchased a new Amiga 4000/040. Having considerable problems in
the transfer of data – and un-archiving it – from the floppy to the hard disk.
In fact, so far we have been unable to load our Toaster 3.0 program from the 40
odd floppies on to the hard disk. As we have clients coming in for video post
production next week…. we are nearly out of our minds with worry and grief!
Have had the suggestion that the power supply for the 4000 is extremely poor –
delivering low voltages which cause the drives – especially the hard drive – to
give considerable trouble. We measured voltages with accurate instruments.
The nominal 5 volts DC. was around 4.95 volts. The 12 volt supply delivers
around 11.64 volts DC. This falls to 11.63 when there is hard disk activity.
Be interested to know if others have suffered – as we are doing right now –
also are there better power supplies which fit the Amiga 4000?
All the best, Hilary.
