i will fix the original power supply... someday *fist shake*
for now it's always good to have a backup for a machine i was planning to show at meets 🤔
i have an Apple 12v power brick and a little buck converter board that claims 3A capacity
if i mathed right this all should be enough to power it
hooking up the 12v confirms we get sound and RF now
welp power supply in my beater 520ST died a quiet death, the obvious stuff is fine so it's something hard
running it off a lab supply, it will indeed boot up on 5v only, but we lack sound, RF output and probably serial
seems we need 12v 🤔

The utopias of yesterday – GfZK Leipzig presents the history of Robotron...
(Robotron was East Germany's largest computer manufacturer and they also made the machine I first got to use on my way to becoming a "computer toucher"... Almost exactly 10 years ago, I wrote about those early experiences and the lessons learned already back then in this long read article here:
