Hi Tristan,
I have a couple of IIGSs from different places. My problem is also
the voltage with regards to those that came from the US. I have
previously managed to cut a board in half from an AT power supply and
fit it into a //e (still looking stock). I think it won't be too much
trouble to do the same for a IIGS, if I could find another AT power
supply (they're becoming rare nowadays... everything's now ATX).
I don't mind using ATX supplies. They have the advantage of not needing a
high voltage switch too.
Basically, what I did was saw the AT power supply board in half and
used some thick wires to reconnect the broken ones (I think I was
lucky with the design of that power supply that they had the high
voltage side on one half and the low voltage side on the other so the
connections were just 4 or 5 wires. If I am able to do it I would
gladly share it with you, just have to provide your own IIGS power
suply case and connector cables.
That's very kind of you.
When I was doing pin spacing comparisons looking for a way that I can avoid
mangling the original supply, I checked out the connectors on a gutted ATX
supply. After what you said I took note of the board layout. The high and
low voltage were divided too. Not a perfect line but pretty good. There
were even rectangular holes in the board. The gap was straddled by a couple
of transformers and a small IC.
