power supply PL800
hi,
currently re-builing a PL800 but I'm afraid I touched the chassis with one of the red power cables does anyone know: is there a fuse somewhere inside? if not what alternative I gave, can I use any kiind of ATX psupply? would be nice since then I have room for a second one which enables me to put en extra one in to create a more balanced load on the unit. |

The PL800 uses a proprietary power supply. There is a fuse inside it, but if the fuse is blown a 99 percent chance the power supply is gone. Are you sure you didn't fry the mainboard? That unit is not worth investing much if anything in. 600 MHz cpu's the fastest it will accept. By the way, that power supply rarely gives trouble unless it is helped. I don't recall any PS failures in the 800's If you had the PL1600 or ML370, some versions may have a hot-swap redundant power supply in it. They came in two flavors, the single power supply like the one you have and the redundant power supply that accepts 3 smaller plug-in supplies. We have the original 800 supplies as well as the redundant version of that PL1600 and ML370 power supply if you need them, cheap. Phil |

Those old "three bangers", more popular in the 1600's were useless to me. We had/have all dual supplies in everything but it's fed from two different power sources so it would keep going with loss of a leg on the power line. That three banger had to have any two going or it would shut down. Was useless in my application. The way things are going, before we kick the bucket the computing power of our best ones may be contained in wrist watch style. I can see it now, looking at your wrist computer and saying .. "computer, what is .. " and the "computer" responds. Scotty, beam be up !! |
