it is called a sup r external power supply for the //e or //+ by m and r
electronics...anyway..it looks like a platinum //e 5.25 black faced floppy
drive metal case (the one with the vents) and instead of a floppy drive
inside...it has a stamped U shaped metal case that is a combination of the
front (blank metal) bottom and back where there is the plug in for the //e
power cable and your standard //e type switch....ie yeah i looks like a disk
ii drive sized metal brick with approp metal feet for stacking and a (in my
view it could be longer only about 6") a standard ap2 power supply plug with
adaptor for a //+ or //e power supply port on the mother board
it is very comercial looking not a hack job has label on side and voltages
etc ...except for the length of the actual power cord to the // itself it
looks pretty cool...
anyway bill g. or someone might think this is a cool mod just wondering how
common these are?
I've never seen one.
not sure how the mnfg got a standard //e power supply inside this little
unit (creative hacksaw with jumpers?) but if you can bend metal in a U shape
for the front/bottom/back and use a standard // case it makes a nice little
way to have your power supply outside your loaded // or //e
The Apple II power supply form factor was set in 1976, and was quite
generous considering its relatively low power output. By the early
1980's it would have been quite easy to get an adequate power supply
into a Disk ][ case.
