I'm starting to wonder if I'll EVER be able to play this thing. I purchased a Commodore 64 AC adapter for use with my Amiga CD32, on the advice of an AtariAge member who claimed that they were compatible. That member was very, very wrong. Although the connector is roughly the same size and shape as the jack on the Amiga CD32, the pin configuration is entirely different, and I don't dare bend the pins so they'll fit.

Can anyone help me with this? I doubt there are any great games available for the Amiga CD32, but I'm a big Commodore fan and I'd sure love to be able to power this thing up at least once.

Yeah, that's some pretty wrong advice. The C64 is a 7 pin DIN +5 +9

CD32 is a 4 pin DIN +5 +12

If I had a 4 pin DIN male plug here I'd solder you up an adapter to plug in any old PC power supply.
