So I purchased a mini-box picoPSU-120 kit which is in essence a very very small power supply that provides multiple regulated voltages. I want to power my Commodore Amiga 500 with the tiny power supply but there’s potentially a big problem with using it out of the box: the -12v rail seems to be out of spec. It’s not being properly regulated to -12v.

So thanks to Mike/amigamech for still having brand new stock of 5-pin A500 power connectors that he could ship quickly.

Here’s a cool project that I have some involvement with, the Armiga Project.

This is basically an ARM-based emulation platform for the Amiga 500 that uses normal Commodore Amiga floppy disks!

Pretty cool, and I definitely support it! It’s already come a long way.

Details are available here at indiegogo!

Schematics now available for A501 replacement card!

Find them on the main project page, located here.
