PC to TI Power Supply

Page Two

(I'll admit that it's looking pretty good so far, but you haven't shown me a title screen or cataloged a floppy yet!)

Here you can see where the additional pwr cable (for floppy and or hard drive) exits the rear via a snap-in grommet (1/2' hole required)

(ok, nice wiring job, but you still haven't got my baby back together)

Here it is fully assembled and with a set of external floppys to boot. Monitor and keyboard are off to the left out of sight. Voltage test were performed with floppy drives (for load purposes) before cards were installed. Loading of Funnelweb and subsequent loading of DM1000 was a pretty good test of the 32k card. All 4 floppys were read and written to for verification. Note that the square button for on/off switch is missing. Would someone please donate one? (Wow, he actually got my baby back together and running -phew-sigh-wipe forehead-)

Ready for the main cover to be installed. I chose to install the pwr supply cover (or wind tunnel) on the chassis first, to ease main cover installation and also to see that everything fits good. Remainder of card cage and the plastic floppy drive support installed as well.

Well that's my little presentation. I hope you enjoyed it and found it somewhat informative. If the response is favorable to this, other projects can be presented later.

A rear view showing the floppy pwr cable (excess neatly tucked in upper right of stand alone box) FIREHOSE flex cable is rolled up and stored inside card cage. The stand alone box was not mounted to this p-box

This Information added By Dan O'Quinn

It appears that some where along the way, perhaps when I borrowed this info from David's page one critical piece of information is missing.

Here it is:

When installing the PC Power Supply into your expansion box the 12 volt line from the PC power supply is run to both the 5 volt and 12 volt lines on the expansion box bus. This eliminated the need to remove the regulators from your Pbox cards. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Thanks
