krisjohn Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I've got an Atari 400, sans power supply. Can anyone tell me the polarity, voltage and current requirements for the 400? So far I've only got the power LED to light up momentarily as I unplug the generic AC adapter. The standard 8-bit FAQ on the 'Net doesn't have power information that I can find. TIA.

Bryan Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 It's a 9V AC adapter (basically just a transformer). The one used by a 800/810/1050 will work. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Sounds like a NES/SNES adapter might work too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 NES adapters don't have the necessary amperage. (IIRC the NES uses 9v/800mA) SNES uses, if I recall, 10V AC, which is a bit too much. You'll need an adapter that does 9v/2.0A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 The (S)NES uses 9V AC 1.3A. I'll give it a try this evening. Hopefully I'll at least be able to workout if it's worth buying a new adapter, or if I've just found my first Nano-ITX project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Works with a (S)NES adapter. Thanks everyone. Now I need to give it a damn good clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
