Power Adapter question
in [Commodore]
|
From: Etienne von Wettingfeld on 2 Jun 2010 07:39 Yesterday I unboxed my C64 model C and to me relief it still worked (couldn't find a monitor cable, but lucky I also have an old black & white TV set). In the attic I have 3 original model C64s. They may or may not work and I want to find out. I'm pretty sure the power adapter of the C model would work on the original models, but is there a possibility a broken C64 might damage my power adapter? If I do some more digging I should be able to find some original power adapters. If they are broken could they damage a working C64? I'd love to know! -- Etienne von Wettingfeld [Mac OS X Snow Leopard] http://www.linkedin.com/in/etiennewettingfeld
