In this video, I build a power supply for a sinclair QL by following an old schematic I found on the internet.
I talk through how the various power rails are created by the power supply and in the computer itself.
I put the power supply through several tests and eventually hook it up to a real Sinclair QL.
The finished product is pretty raw. I built it out of curiosity in order to try and learn something. I am not an electrical engineer, just a hobbyist with an interest. The video is for entertainment only. I am explaining it to myself as much as other people.
The schematic that the power supply is based on can be found here:
It was designed by 1024MAK
