Well, yeah. Sadly the original Commode Door power supply has a few fungible
parts that seem to be made of unobtanium. I located the dead player in the
original .... but, finding a replacement ..... hence the ATX 450W supply to
replace the original 250W CBM item.

Surely there are resources/suppliers for Atari as well. After I started the
hardware hack I found a source for a pre-built adapter to do the job - and for
only $20. But, I started this so I'm going to see it through.

Good luck keeping your ST up and running.
