@A1200

Not the usual Amiga beige colour and at only 35 watts it won't be powering up a modern Amiga.

Actually, the listing stated that the original PSU was up to 35W, but those being sold are rated as 50W supplies.

Agreed not as powerful as say the Goliath was (at 200W), or able to handle some of the more heavily expanded machines, but as a simple replacement for most normal machines (be it 500, 500+, 600, 1200) these would be a suitable replacement.

Okay I see it now. I just read the brief description. Which was actually unclear. IIRC the A500 had a 60W PSU and A1200 25W. So 60W looks borderline when you need power up an expanded Amiga. At 50W I don't know if that is enough for an expanded desktop system.

Remember back in the day people would use mechanical HDDs these were a major source of power consumption. Now people have SSDs/CF/SD drives instead the consumption is minimal.

Add to the fact most people don't use a mechanical floppy or daisy chain of external floppies, opting for a PCMCIA to CF or PCMCIA NIC or Gotek drive, power consumption is reduced again.

Then take the CPU - a 68030 CPU is around 25% less power hungry than a 68020 - granted some of the GALS and RAM may use up some power.

I would say 60w is no problem for an A1200 in the modern world.
