I spend far too much of my time (ie. most of it) working on my machines with the lid off. If I'm developing hardware or using something that doesn't work (yet!) with the lid closed, then the insides of the machine will be exposed.
On the wedge STs with built-in floppies and the Falcon, unlike on the wedge Amigas, the PSU was internal. And it exposes mains voltages.
It also makes the machines quite heavy to move around between the shed and my desk.
So I've decided to admit defeat and copy the Amiga in the one area we can all agree it had an advantage over the ST series: the external power supply.
Here's how I got on.
