    Hey people

    After some info on the 4 pin power supply to suit a model 2 Saturn (VA8). A while ago I was given a Saturn as a parts machine. It was an American console that some bright spark plugged into an Australian outlet, of course the original power supply went boom.

    I have read elsewhere that a 5 pin one will work, the 4 pin has only one ground pin.

    I measured my 5 pin power supply yesterday (reading from back to front) 12v, 5v, 5v, GND, GND.

    Reading the modchip installation I know on 4 and 5 pin power supplies the 2nd from the back pin is 5v.

    So if someone could let me know what the voltages on a 4 pin power supply is that would be tops.

    So 4 pin

    ?, 5v, ?, ?

    Thank you Pete

    Cool thanks for the info, I might be able to "make" my own PSU. I have a couple of 5v 2amp power supplies I ordered by accident.

    That power supply is long gone, tracks were damaged etc.
