Colleton Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I picked up an 800XL a while back with an ingot PSU, so I ordered this 5vdc PSU from Amazon, thinking I would cut the DIN jack off the ingot and solder it onto the new PSU. Then I took a look at the adapter that came with the new PSU. I installed the cut off DIN jack onto the adapter instead of cutting the barrel jack off of the new PSU, and now I have an XL PSU adapter that will work with any 5vdc PSU with a center positive barrel jack. Pretty sure you can buy just the adapter. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hello Colleton I did something similar. Nice side effect is that you don't void any warranty you might have on the new power supply. Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Is the 5A on the PSU from Amazon too much for the Atari? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
