Apple ][+ Replacement PSU
Posted by: PowerPCFan on 2023-12-29 10:41:08 I'd like to get a replacement PSU for my Apple ][+. I don't want to recap my existing one. Would you guys recommend the universal replacement from Reactivemicro.com ?? Or even better, is there a way I can adapt a modern ATX power supply to work? I don't want those RIFA caps blowing during my VCF East exhibit! -Charlie, a.k.a. PowerPCFan
Posted by: Skate323k137 on 2023-12-29 11:01:27 The reactive micro solution is nice, I use that myself. There is also a nice slightly more advanced way to fit a meanwell, which may try in the future. Putting a PT-65B switchmode power module into an Apple IIe \| Applefritter www.applefritter.com

Putting a PT-65B switchmode power module into an Apple IIe \| Applefritter www.applefritter.com I'll probably do that. I just found out about this: picorc.com I think that would work too right?

I suppose pick based upon your skill, budget, and last but absolutely not least, amperage requirements. If you plan to load up every slot, pick a solution with a higher mA rating especially on +5v than your factory PSU is labelled for.
