5 volts 1.5 amps clean dc is all you need.. just about any decent quality power supply will do.

Just do NOT use a C64 power supply! That's a sure way to fry your XEGS.

A smallish older ATX generally works for me, just beware that some ATX supplies need a load to work properly. Also, don't assume the colors of the wires are right. red is usually 5V, but I've heard some stories of it being 12V on some supplies and killing ataris.

I would never dream of connecting anything without using a meter on it first! Imagine getting the wires reversed. 5 volts reverse polarity can cause plenty of damage!

Remember these things run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, it's broke and won't work anymore!
