Default GVP IMPACT Series II A500-HD+

I have a GVP IMPACT Series II A500-HD+, but I do not have the original power supply for it.

Does someone know what type of voltages the power input plug should have so that I can make a custom PSU for it?

It looks like this one:

Hi.

I did have the pinout for it, but I can't remember where it was.

There is a mod that you can do on the HD which makes it get it's power from the Amiga instead of from it's own power supply.

Again I forgot the link but I will have a look for it.

The powersupply on mine broke, so I did this mod and now it works perfectly. The A500 PSU might get a little hotter than usual though if you use the HD alot.

Thanks for the advice...

As it turns out, it was already modified to work without a PSU.

I only added a disk and some ram and it works perfectly.
