Dr. Daves Diversions | Keelog Dual PSU mod to power C64 & 1541-DC @DrDavesDiversions | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video, I teardown, upgrade, and measure a Keelog dual PSU - a replacement power supply for the Commodore 64 plus a floppy disk drive.
This modification allows you to use this one PSU to power both a 64 and an original 1541 modified for DC power, like a 1541-II. The original 1541 draws more power than the 1541-II and other drives, motivating this upgrade providing ~30 watts DC power rather than ~20 watts.
