Re: Apple IIgs 200w Power Supply

A IIe power supply can produce +5v at 2.5a = 12.5w.  And +12v at 1.5a = 18w.
A total of roughly 30.5w.  I believe the peak wattage to be


35w.


A IIgs power supply can produce +5v at 4a = 20w.  And +12v at 2.5a = 30w.  A
total of roughly 50w.  I believe the peak wattage to be

60w.

The GSE-Reactive.com power supply can produce +5v at 18.8a = 94w.  And +12v
at 7.0a = 84w.  A total of roughly 178w.

Peek of 200w.

hmmm...i just looked inside my 2 apple //e upgrades power supplies..i used
to run fv/4.0xev and tpro 4.2f rpg bbs on 24/7 when gonzo was up.....i HAVE
(and still have as spares i guess) but never used some buggie power
supplies...but basically looking at the 2 gs upgrades i have both same
setup...ram card might be different... i see that i have regular old ap2e
power supplies...on the fv/metal machine..it is located outside the
case...for heat reasons (ie take out of case..put cable to mother board thru
hole where m/b used to be....to mother board...i know ...dumb but seems to
work ok...)

anyway...on that machine i had a 14.mhz (stable) twgs with 32k ram upgrade,
sequential 4meg ram card (the last one made uses newer ram chips stacked
like dominos), ramfast rev D 256 card (yeah never got around to upgrading
ram on that)

anyway....worked just fine from 1995 or so till system went down in
2002....with the same power supply...i'm pretty sure....so ....maybe heat is
the big issue on this ..and this setup was up 24/7 during that time

anyway...prob not enough cards in it to matter just thought it was
interesting...because of the //gs upgrade angle and having to use your
regular //e power supply

anyway thanks for the info..if they never go out..i guess i'm not much in
the market for one..but if i do...nice to know it is available with the pc
power plugs as well...(i do have a vulcan controller around here someplace ?
but the proper ide hd i think is a pain to find..too many toys..not enough
money)....i want someone on this newsgroup... to win the lottery and setup a
foundation for an ap2 museum....could be worse i guess....i saw a guy on
t.v. whose bsmt/garage etc were filled with 1930's to 1960's outboard
motors....and i think i have space issues...
