Someone offered me a really bare (no RAM, no hard drive, CD-ROM, no front bezel) 7220 for a song. Its 230 Watt power supply looked like the garden variety PC ATX PS that comes with a sliding switch for 115/230 volts and held in place by two or three Philips metal screws. Take it to a PC shop and have them replace it with a suitable one. The 150-Watt PS you acquired is suitable for any 7200, 7500, and 7600 DT, but not on the 8500, 9500 MT case. I have circuit diagrams that show how to adapt ATX PS to 8500/9500s showing which connectors need to be swapped. Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
