Question about 8-bit power supplies


2600Lives

Recommended Posts

So, I have 5 power supplies for Atari 8-bit computers. Four of them are part number CO17945 and one is part number CO14319. They all have the same input jacks. I have 4 items that use power supplies, an Atari 800XL, 2 1010 casette drives, and a 1050 disk drive. My question is which things exactly do these go to? I'm pretty sure the CO17945 is for the 1050 drive, but I'm a bit squiffy about just trying these out willy nilly, since the power specs are different. Thanks in advance!

yeah looks like you have it right the 1050 needing a higher Amp rating

I would reserve the 15VA power supply(CO14319) for an 850/1010, they may supply enough current for a stock 400/800/1200XL but could be questionable depending on any upgrades installed. I had the fuse in one blow when used with an upgraded 400(Mosaic 64K), I broke it open along the seam to replace the fuse.

No, the 14913 is 9V AC power supply.

800XL requires 5V DC, it even has different power connector, a 5 pin DIN.

The XL/XE computers(except for the 1200XL) have a 7-pin DIN +5VDC power connector, a 5-pin DIN connector is used for monitor output(except for the XEGS which has an RCA jack for composite out).
