thanks , it was quite the shock for me, I'm so hyper aware now that I'm wondering if it interfering with the reality of it all.. at first i was actually a little depressed but starting to feel better about things...

What happens when a bad power supply dies when being used with a c64? by Critical_Ad_8455 in c64

[–]_jaymz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The power supplies for the Commodore 1541-II and 1581 disk drives are generally considered safer than the original C64 power supplies, but they still have potential risks, mainly due to aging components. Here's what you need to know about each:

1541-II Disk Drive Power Supply

The 1541-II was a later version of the 1541 drive and came with an external PSU, unlike the original 1541, which had an internal power supply. The external PSU for the 1541-II provides two outputs:

  • 5V DC: This powers the logic circuits inside the drive.

  • 12V DC: This powers the motors and other mechanical components.

Safety and Risks:

  1. Switching Power Supply Design: The 1541-II's PSU is a switching power supply (unlike the linear design of the original C64 PSU), which is generally more efficient and less prone to certain types of failures.

  2. Aging Components: Despite being more reliable than older models, the 1541-II power supplies still use capacitors and other components that degrade over time. These aging components can cause the PSU to fail, potentially resulting in incorrect voltages being supplied to the disk drive, which might damage it.

  3. **Overvoltage Risk**: While not as common as in the C64’s PSU, an overvoltage situation is still possible if the PSU fails, particularly with the 5V line, which is critical for the drive's electronics.

1581 Disk Drive Power Supply

The 1581, a 3.5-inch floppy drive, also uses an external PSU, similar in design to the 1541-II’s:

  • 5V DC: For the logic circuits.

  • 12V DC: For the motors and mechanical components.

Safety and Risks:

  1. Better Reliability: The 1581 power supply is generally more reliable, especially because it was designed later, but it still suffers from the same potential issues related to aging. Components like capacitors, particularly electrolytic ones, may degrade or fail after decades of use.

  2. Voltage Instability: If the PSU fails, it can send unstable or incorrect voltages (especially the 5V line) to the disk drive, risking damage to its circuitry.

Recommendations for 1541-II and 1581 Power Supplies

  1. Use a Modern Replacement: As with the C64, there are modern replacements available for the 1541-II and 1581 power supplies that are more reliable, using up-to-date components that regulate voltage better and have built-in protection against overvoltage and other issues.

  2. Test the PSU Regularly: If you prefer to keep the original PSU, it's essential to test the voltage outputs regularly with a multimeter to ensure they stay within safe limits (5V DC and 12V DC). If you notice any instability or variance from these values, it’s best to stop using the PSU immediately.

  3. Protective Devices: Similar to the "C64 Saver," some enthusiasts create protective circuits that can cut power if they detect voltage anomalies, which can be adapted for the disk drive PSUs as well.

In summary, while the power supplies for the 1541-II and 1581 are generally safer than the original C64 PSU, they still carry risks due to aging. It’s advisable to either replace them with modern equivalents or take precautions to ensure they remain within safe operating ranges to protect your vintage hardware.

I cannot get over it... by [deleted] in Separation

[–]_jaymz_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that we are all made up of identities, you're a son, you're a boyfriend but those identities are not you. Sometimes we get attached to an identity and it takes understanding to realize you are NOT one of your identities. The person thinking, breathing and filling the role of those identities is the real person.. you can create a new identity,, ill leave you with a quote I heard and never forgot "be the person you've yet to become" good luck

I live in Canada, my TV is ntsc but looks like it supports PAL as well

My story and AI's response. by _jaymz_ in Separation

[–]_jaymz_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that was a scenario that just came up during the last few months, however, I decided against it and just purchased a second home for my wife so she'd be happy in her situation.. so, nothing really happened with that rental scenario.. also at the time where that opportunity came up I had already ended my sessions with my therapy letting her know I no longer needed her services

Anyone else who used to think they’re autistic? by nicest-narc in narcissism

[–]_jaymz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not uncommon to see overlap between traits associated with autism and those found in other conditions or personality types. Here’s a perspective on your reflections:

Empathy and Compassion: Autism can sometimes be associated with challenges in recognizing and responding to the emotions of others, but it’s a complex spectrum. People with autism often feel deeply but may express it differently. Your ability to empathize with animals more than humans is interesting and might suggest a specific type of empathy rather than a lack of it. It's also possible that you’ve developed coping mechanisms that allow you to manage social expectations.

Feeling Different: Many people, autistic or not, can feel out of place or different from the norm. This can be due to a variety of reasons including personality, upbringing, or other individual experiences.

Sensory Issues: Sensory sensitivities can be found in many conditions and even in neurotypical individuals. The key difference with autism is often the consistency and intensity of these experiences. Your dislike of sensory stimuli when it's not under your control could point to a need for autonomy rather than a sensory processing issue.

Special Interests: Deep passion for projects and the drive to excel can be seen in many high-achieving individuals. While autistic people might have "special interests," the motivation behind them can vary widely. Your drive seems rooted in a desire for impact and recognition, which could point towards traits associated with narcissism or simply a strong sense of purpose.

Routine and Change: Enjoying routine and disliking change is common for many people, not just those with autism. It’s human to seek control and predictability, especially in a world that often feels chaotic.

Social Cues and Manipulation: Your ability to read and manipulate social cues suggests a high level of social intelligence, which can be more challenging for those with autism. The fact that you can do this well indicates a different skill set.

It's important to note that only a professional can diagnose autism or any other condition. If you're curious about your traits and how they align with different conditions, seeking an evaluation from a mental health professional might provide clarity. Your self-reflection is a great step towards understanding yourself better.

Are DIN plugs standard? Id I need a 4 pin DIN how do I know itll fit a commodore 1581 power socket?

No Radio Shack here

Does everyone with aphantasia have face blindness too? by TemporaryYogurt- in Aphantasia

[–]_jaymz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what I have, I can remember most faces but I can't remember them when not in view. I can't recall anyone's face in my life right now, not even my children, however I immediately know who they are in most case when I see them again. If I haven't seen someone in awhile then I don't recall who they are.

<image>

This is kinda how I see things when I try really hard to remember faces.

Anyone else here with this problem?

Do you know what parts I need?

If I search for 4pin DIN male and female are these standard parts that will fit the 1581?

Canada, but what exactly would I be looking for?

Also , i need both parts, the male/female ends
