6.5) What are the power requirements for my Atari components?

Subject: 6.5) What are the power requirements for my Atari components?

Thanks to Matthias Belitz for the European data in this section. I need more
international help!

As with the rest of this FAQ list, please let me know if any of this
information conflicts with the units you have.

The most important information is the voltage (in volts) required, and
whether you need a transformer (AC output) or an adapter (DC output).
The power (in voltamps or watts) and current (in amperes) specifications
of the original equipment as presented here should be regarded as
minimum values. Higher-than-specified power and current capacities are
entirely usable, and often preferable because such supplies run cooler
and last longer.

Direct Current (DC):
Power (in watts) = current (in amps) * voltage (in volts)

Alternating Current (AC):
Apparent Power (in voltamps) = current (in amps) * voltage (in volts)
Effective/True Power (in watts) = current (in amps) * voltage (in volts)
* (cosine of the angle of lag)

4 varieties, detailed by Ben Poehland in Current Notes v10n9 Nov 1990:
Type I: The Beauty Queen, 1983-84, made in Hong Kong
matches XL hardware, repairs easy
Type II: The Ugly Clunker, 1984-85, made in Taiwan
all black, external RF interference supression box,
entirely permanently sealed, unrepairable
Type III: The Black Beauty, 1985, made in Taiwan, uncommon
like Type I but all black, simplest design/easiest repairs
Type IV: The Peanut, 1985-?, made in Taiwan
black with silver plate, difficult/tedious repairs

OTHER:
The ICD Multi I/O (MIO), all versions, can use both AC and DC supplies, BUT:
stick to voltages of at least 6.2-7.2 V.
On 2003.09.01 James Bradford wrote: "Doesn't matter what polarity the
centre is, the MIO has a fullwave bridge rectifer in it.
AC would be better because the diodes would be used half the time."
Indus GT: see Atari#CO18187 or CA019141 above. What happens if power
supplies for the Atari 1050 and Indus GT are mixed? Paul Alhart writes
(20 Jan 2004): "The Indus requires DC, the 1050 uses AC. Plug an Indus
supply into a 1050 and it will usually blow the rectifier diodes in the
1050. Plug an Atari supply into an Indus and it will blow the fuse in
the supply. It can damage the mother board as well."
