A little while back I built a pair of external PSU bricks for my STs and Falcon as I envied the Amiga's power supply so much.
I don't have an Amiga power supply, however.
Let's upgrade one of those PSUs to also run my A500 using a £1.20 module from EBay.
Can this power (the -12V rail of) an Amiga 500?

Old PLCC sockets tend to produce bad contacts after a while. Either simply through age, use or abuse (see my DIP STE adapter and PiStorm STE videos!)
The correct answer is to replace or retension the sockets as the sprung contacts have been pushed back over time.
However theres a much faster workaround for a short-term win.
Dont rely on this for your space probe, though...
