 Re: Pls help to buy hardware

Sorry, I found no gmail address... so here:

If you just need a working Plus/4 PSU, I can help you (PSU is free, but postage, well...)
It depends, if you have round or square connector.
In case you have a round one, you are lucky: I may provide you a C64 PSU, I have one extra from that. If you have a square connector, you can be more lucky: I have 3 extra, and the Plussies are dead... (BTW I should test them)

C16: I think it just needs one UNregulated DC input.
("The power supply needs to be a 9V DC, 1A, and ground must be on the inside.
The original PSUs have something about 15V DC without load
So, voltage does not have to be that exact, because it is regulated down to 5V inside the C16 anyway.")

Unfortunately C64 and Plus/4 PSU has 9VAC and 5VDC, so for C16 or C116 they cannot help you...

For the ZX Spectrum I had the same problem (bought as defective, as PSU was not working, with a certain risk I bough really cheap (neeeded a new keyboard membrane from UK and a generic PSU to get it work).
I use Universal/Multi-Voltage AC/DC Adapter with 1.2A max.load at 9V. It has adjustable voltage, polarity and 8 different connectors. I bought is at Norauto for 1200HUF.

something like this:

Postage cost link (sorry, no English, but you can decode based on weight):

Unfortunately no postage to Antartica, the closest thing in Falkland island:
