How to make a cool Commodore 1541 disk drive
Commodore 1541 drives run really hot. Let's fix that by swapping out the old linear power supply for a switching supply, and let's do it for just a few dollars. PSU from AliExpress: UPDATE Link Removed: This PSU doesn't provide proper regulation on the 12v rail. At idle it's about 13.6v while under load (Drive spinning) it's fine around 12v. I don't recommend you use this particular PSU and use something else. Something with better 12v regulation when 5v is under load. Thanks to viewer Jim for letting me know about this issue!
