Hi helpful people <G>. i'v just today been given an old IBM personal system/2 model/60 in am thinking about rehousing a spare AMIGA 2000 perhaps move my main setup (2500/2630) to that case. there is more than enough run in this tower case to take the 2000 , my problem though is trying to find out if the supply had a tick line so i can tape it and have the 2000 work with the graphics card (picasso4). the voltages are easy enough to work out useing volt meter but i once tryed converting another old PC power supply to replace the aboves blown one and had endless problems because if the missing tick line in the pc replacment. anyone ever tryed to convert the about IBM case/supply successfully and perhaps knows the IBM's pinouts its useing the old style block power connector not the more comman pc connectors found today. on another related note. i'm also considering replaceing the 2630/28 as i cant find anyone in the uk willing to sell me the 2632 ram expansion for it (currently 6meg usable), so i'm looking for ideas of any current selling basic exel with eather a 030 , (considering an appollo card from power computing), but i'd like to know if there are any basic 040 cards still made that will take 64meg+ for the 2000 and NOT take away the zorro2 space as the 2630 does. its a pain having to drop the picasso4 to 2 meg 8( (4meg 32bit,2meg 16bit, 2meg picasso = 8 meg zorro2 space) ill probably get one of Mick's BoXeR boards,when it starts shipping but until then i'd really like to try and keep my current machines in service until the new products appear. all help/advice welcome THANKS -- Paul May Team *AMIGA* <tsb> User Of The small OS With A BIG Future --
