- neither does the A3000;
- the A4000 possibly did (or could);

List of machines that will run off 110V power?
Motivation for the question being that I'm an ex-pat, I'm trying to determine which of Acorn's 32-bit machines came with power supplies that would function with a 110V 60Hz input. Mostly by image searching I'm building up the guesses that:

There are Risc PCs with a 110/240v switch on the PSU. Pretty sure I still have PSU with the switch.
Re: List of machines that will run off 110V power?
Do you know where the switch is? Is it inside? I am taking my Acorn's back out to Texas with me, so would be handy switching the ones I can to 110v. If I can switch the A4000 and RISC PC, that would only leave the A5000, Master and B running on my step up transformer. The A4 does both which is handy.thecellartroll wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 10:13 pm There are Risc PCs with a 110/240v switch on the PSU. Pretty sure I still have PSU with the switch.

The BBC B and many Masters can be easy adapted to run on 110V/120V.

Re: List of machines that will run off 110V power?
Ahhhh, it's one of those types! I thought it might be like the A3000 thread where you take it apart and switch it over. Gotcha. None of mine are 110 then . Thanks Ian!!

The A5000 PSU has a switch, so no need to run your machine on a transformer.

Awesome!! Is the switch inside the PSU? There is no switch on the back like what Ian showed above.HigashiJun wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 10:59 pmThe A5000 PSU has a switch, so no need to run your machine on a transformer.

You have to remove the PSU from the Acorn A5000 case and you'll see the switch.

It's all that simple.
