 Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 7:32 am Post subject: Game Doctor CD-ROM Drive - What kind of power supply ? |
 |
|
I am getting a 64mb GDSF7 (is it upgradeable ? I know Tototek sells memory modules, but if I put a 64 mb upgrade in it, can the internlal memory also be upgraded? ) soon with CD-ROM drive. Only thing is, the CD-ROM drive (guy told me it worked with his V64 power supply) won't come with a power supply.
Anyone know of a power supply I can use with it?
thanks! |

Of course it's upgradeable, it supports 128M in two 64M modules.
The guy told you right, the CDROM needs a V64-like power supply. It's a SMPS outputting 12V/5V through a 4-pin mini-DIN connector like S-Video. |

is there an equivalent adaptor or other alternative? I can't seem to find a V64 power adaptor. Also, do you know of a manual on how to operate this thing? The GDSF7 starts by automatically trying to load whatever disk, and all I can do is just press select. |

| You can build one from a Jameco power supply that uses +5 and +12, just need to solder on the proper DIN connector. |

| That'll work fine, just wire up an svideo connector and you're set. |

Well, if its the same like the V64 PSU then you can take just any (old) power supply for PCs. If you need the PinOuts let me know, i have build an adaptor on my own.

1) Buy a high gauge S-video cable
2) Desolder and disconnect old power cable
3) Solder in S-video cable |

High gauge s-video cable...well, I don't know how to tell the difference between one cable and another. I am wondering also how to wire the old power cable to the s-video cable |
