AtariGuy Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Does anyone know how many amps a 130XE will draw? The power supply is rated at 1.5 amps, but power supplies are usually rated much higher than they need to be. I want to mount a laptop harddrive inside, and it draws 500mA (again, probably rated higher than it really draws). Just wondering if i need a bigger power supply. Thanks!

Callipygous Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Atari made two PS for XL/XE: Atari # CO70042 1 amp, 5.0W Atari # CO61982 1.5 A, 7.5 W I always assumed that the 1.5 amp was the better one to have. Burned out less frequently etc. Was kinda waiting for a real hardware guy to comment on this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
