POWER SUPPLY PLUG for IIe



Readers of this list have read previously that I am gearing up to 
produce power supply adaptor cords to run Apple II's from IBM power 
supplies.

There will be a pair of versions for the IIe/II+ and a different pair of 
versions for the IIgs.  Version A will be an adaptor cord that will 
connect to power sockets P8 and P9 of the IBM PS;  Version B will have 
the wires soldered directly to the IBM output wires.  (Version B is 
recommended if you do not already have an IBM power supply.)

These adapters will be ready in May.   Already, I am running my "flagship 
IIe" on a 150 watt IBM power supply, with no problems whatsoever.  (No 
brownouts or freezeups on my prototype).


I have now located and ordered ten of the IIgs power supply Molex-7 plugs.


I _think_ I have found the IIe power supply connector; I write to ask any 
"connector experts" to check this catalog description to confirm that 
this is the correct IIe power supply connector:


DIGI-KEY CATALOG NO. 962, March-April 96, Page 43:

AMP (MR) MINIATURE RECTANGULAR CONNECTORS, first column, lower half:

Brick red  6-pin polarized positive-lock Matrix housing:
  Digi-Key  part no. A14113-ND   AMP part no. 1-640520-0

The plug I have before me is AMP, but with no part number stated.


IS THIS THE IIE POWER PLUG?  Connector experts, please advise!  Thanks.
