PSU 6360, 6290 and ? ID help please.

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2026-05-20 10:14:58 PSU_A - Can it be identified from these pics? Any other method? Need to take better pics of PSU_ C & PSU_D FAN threw Autofocus off badly.

Posted by: Durosity on 2026-05-20 10:18:35 It's from a Performa 630/6200 etc.. (there's a small possibility it may be from a 6360 which added an extra rail)

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2026-05-20 11:39:43 Thanks, what are the identifying characteristics? I'll get the pics posted of the other two this afternoon. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Teaser: Official announcement after all kinds of testing complete. Running a beautiful bodge ATM for testing the TwinSlot riser. All h**l to get a workable system up and running, swappage to the max. Tore the guts outta the digital starion MidTower Alchemy/Gazelle testbed. Pulled the spare 6x00 MedusaMess from its storage bag. Gotta love that Zip connector extension and big termination block on the end. Luckily the functional 6x00 PSU was on the shelf behind, its empty can sibling is standing in for ductwork/backplane PCI cage support fabrication. Speaker/Video Out Card setup and CF card from the testbed rounded out the kluge. @luRaichu did a fabulous PCB to bring the eight+ years running PCI TwinSlot riser project for my 6360 to a close. We're calling it DoubleBourrage (DoubleStuffer) as the TwinSlot moniker's already a IIsi thing. Need to get the drawer into the 6360 for power testing. I ran a power hungry, full length Radius Vidcard in my 6360 graphics workstation for years. USB/FW card in Slot_B1 can't be all that thirsty, especially with a more modern VidCard in Slot_A1. Test fit with backplane bracket still installed on the top card clears the drawer opening by a few MM! 5x00 here we come! 😀

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2026-05-20 13:59:36 Here we go: Dunno, my money is on PSU-C being my 6360, just a hunch based on differences/improvements? I think I need to trade for another working 6360/6300, too many Logic boards on hand,. Thankfully I have the front shelf from my Q630 stripped of its MedusaMess which is in a Typewriter re-casing along with its cut-down PSU from the Snitz days, my very first all-nighter hackathon! Dunno where the fourth case came from, but good to have.
