Thanks to Matthias Belitz for the European data in this section.  I need more
international help!

As with the rest of this FAQ list, please let me know if any of this
information conflicts with the units you have.

The most important information is the voltage (in volts) required, and
whether you need a transformer (AC output) or an adapter (DC output). 
The power (in voltamps or watts) and current (in amperes) specifications
of the original equipment as presented here should be regarded as
minimum values.  Higher-than-specified power and current capacities are
entirely usable, and often preferable because such supplies run cooler
and last longer.

Direct Current (DC):
Power (in watts) = current (in amps) * voltage (in volts)

Alternating Current (AC):
Apparent Power (in voltamps) = current (in amps) * voltage (in volts)
Effective/True Power (in watts) = current (in amps) * voltage (in volts)
                                  * (cosine of the angle of lag)

DC supplies (external adapters)
  5 V DC  1.0 A  (5.0 W)  Atari#CO70042
    65XE,XE game system
  Two versions, as described by B&C ComputerVisions, see:
  http://www.myatari.com/ebay/psxl.jpg
    Version #5(bottom center), the Mini, is the smallest at 2" X 3" & 2" high.
    It was shipped with most XE Game Systems.  Output 5 VDC at 1 Amp.
    Atari Part# C70042-011.  Not as rugged as version #6.
    For continuous operation use #6 for a 1 Amp instead of #5.

    Version #6(bottom right), the Logo, is the same size as Ver #4,
    3" X 4 1/2" & 2 1/2" high but has an Atari Logo molded into the case.
    It was shipped with most 65XE computers and later XE Game Systems.
    Output 5 VDC at 1 Amp.  Atari Part# C70042-01.  Very reliable.
    Works great in most applications.

  5 V DC  1.5 A  (7.5 W)  Atari#CO61982/CA024814
    600XL,800XL,65XE,130XE,XE Game System
  Four versions, as described by B&C ComputerVisions, see:
  http://www.myatari.com/ebay/psxl.jpg
    Version #1(upper left), the White Brick, has a white top and dark brown
    bottom,  4" X 8" & 2 1/2" high.  Version #1 was shipped with early
    600XL/800XL computers.  Output 5 VDC at 1.5 Amp.  Atari Part# C061982.
    Very reliable.  Very Rare.

    Version #2(lower left), the Black Brick, is same shape and size as Version
    #1but all black, 4" X 8" & 2 1/2" high.  Version #2 was shipped with later
    600XL/800XL computers.  Output 5 VDC at 1.5 Amp.  Atari Part# C061982.
    Very reliable.  Very Rare.

    Version #3(center top), the Ingot, is solid & all black,
    3 1/4" X 5" & 2 1/2" high.  It was shipped with most 600XL/800XL and some
    65/130XE computers.  Output 5 VDC at 1.5 Amp.  Atari Part# C061982.  If
    this version fails it can damage the computer if not turned off quickly.
    Not reccomended for unattended operations.  If hum bars are seen on the
    screen disconnect version #3 power packs.

    Version #4(top right), the Box, is slightly smaller than the Ver #3 at
    3" X 4 1/2" & 2 1/2" high.  It was shipped with most 130XE computers.
    Output 5 VDC at 1.5 Amp.  Atari Part# C061982.  Very reliable.
    Getting hard to find.
    We reccomend this version for 130XE and 800XL computers.

OTHER:
The ICD Multi I/O (MIO), all versions, can use both AC and DC supplies, BUT:
     stick to voltages of at least 6.2-7.2 V.
     On 2003.09.01 James Bradford wrote: "Doesn't matter what polarity the
     centre is, the MIO has a fullwave bridge rectifer in it.
     AC would be better because the diodes would be used half the time."
Indus GT: see Atari#CO18187 or CA019141 above.  What happens if power
     supplies for the Atari 1050 and Indus GT are mixed?  Paul Alhart writes
     (20 Jan 2004): "The Indus requires DC, the 1050 uses AC. Plug an Indus
     supply into a 1050 and it will usually blow the rectifier diodes in the
     1050. Plug an Atari supply into an Indus and it will blow the fuse in
     the supply. It can damage the mother board as well."
