Since it looks as if my Risc PC power supply (two slice one) is on the
way out, I'm looking for a cheap replacement. Alternatives are:

1   Secondhand/refurbished Risc PC power supply. Any suggestions?

2   Replace it with a PC AT type power supply - 20 quid from CPC etc.

Does anyone have any experience of fitting the latter? There appear to be
a few issues:

        - where to obtain the 6 way connectors for the Risc PC motherboard

        - how to connect the 2 off 5 volt, +/- 12  and earth connections,
          ie which of the two earths belongs to which supply - there are 
          only 2 earths for 4 supplies

        - does it matter which of the (usually) 4 off 5 volt supplies    
          from the AT psu should be used

Any ideas greatfully received.

Cheers,

Ray D
