Post subject:  MMC64 and the PSU

I received my brand new MMC64 yesterday, plugged it in and was good to go. What happened next brought me close to tears. As I was sitting at my pc filling my flashcard with snacks, my c64 (with the MMC64 in the slot) went into a fit. It froze, filled the screen with garbage and that was it. The dreaded black screen syndrome. :(

Based on closer analysis after my initial shock, it seems that this may have been caused by a bad Power Supply Unit. At least it was really really hot.

So, have anybody else experienced something similar? Does the MMC64 draw so much power that it can bring a potentially bad PSU over the edge? Or was it just my usual bad luck?

All of those old c64 PSUs are waiting to kill your gear, so kill it first! :twisted:

Really sorry to hear that. Hopefully your MMC64 has survived. If you need a new PSU/C64 from the Instinct stash, let me know :)
