| The PET series
of computer has an onboard power supply as do some
of Commodore's disk drives. The majority of Commodore
computers and disk drives have external power supplies
which provide more than one voltage. For this they
use a multi pin connector. The exceptions are the
early VIC-20s and the C16. The first has a two-pin
nine volt supply, the second a single pin also nine
volts. Examples of those in my collection are shown
here. In most cases I have more than one. |
