ST Book Laptop

[Mr.JT]

Hi,

 

can anyone tell me where to get an STBook Laptop power supply, or advise of any standard power supply that might work.

 

I'd even settle for a pinout diagram so i could try and make my own... or a contact of someone else who owns an stbook so i can discuss it with them?

 

Thanks

I tried Best but because the STBook was never released in the US they do not have any parts.

 

But I will have a look at the other website....thanks

Boy, you'd think people never heard of atarimuseum.com or something:

 

okay, the power supply is a autosense AC input 100-240v 1A power brick

 

DC out is 16v @ 1.25a

Battery charge out is 12v @ 1.2a

 

Looking into the connector, the top 2 pins are the Vdc and the bottom center pin and the outer plug ring are GND.

 

The power supply appears to be a generic Phihong, its part# is PSA-4642A

 

Mouser Electronics has a fairly comprehensive selection of power supplies or try a lot of the on-line electronic surplus websites and you should be able to find something in the 12-16v range at 1.25 amps.

ok is there any hope to getting a A/C adaptor hacked to work with an Atari ST Book????! There has got to be a way. can anyone help me in getting one working for an ST Book?

[+wood_jl]

Tell us about this "new" ST Book, tjlazer!

[tjlazer]

It's a french ST Book I just picked up. It's in really nice shape, but it is missing the A/C adapter. Apparently it needs a special one so this might have to stay as a museum piece. It also lacks a floppy drive, so transferring data to it will be difficult. Really nice laptop though.

Transferring data is fine (but slow) through serial line.

 

I disassembled one of ST-Book to exchange the hard disk for a bigger one, so I could use it as one partition and install HdDriver.

I do believe that I pestered Phihong about this years ago, and they indicated this particular model was specific to the ST-Book, but hopefully someone can find something similar that can be used as a replacement.

 

BTW, there is an Atari hard disk cable available for the ST-Book, which may help transferring data. Before that I think I used a null modem cable.

 

Best Electronics does have a few parts available on their Stacy page:

I decided I want to sell my ST Book laptop. I was not able to get a power supply for it. It is the french version. Will be listing it on eBay soon if anyone is interested PM me.
