First test, worked better than expected really !

Yeah, looks good for a start.

That switch looks familiar! 
Re: Should exxos design a new CT60 PSU?
This is getting complicated 
Most likely make the end posts out of metal.. because.. reasons..
Possible if the socket pins bend a bit, the wires can flow more at 45 deg and can then get some heat shrink tubing over them. Failing that, might have to resort to liquid bodge tape or resin

Worth the effort or soldertail fuse?

Re: Should exxos design a new CT60 PSU?
Looking at the CT60 PSU connector, I noticed it actually has -12 wired to the SV connector, and PSON is wired.. But on the CT60 PSU both are missing ?
Id assume the PSON is the control in which allows the CT60 to turn on /off the ATX PSU. But that signal is totally missing on the CT60 PSU . So I assume nobody uses that feature ? Or just don't care if there's a power on off switch anyway, so probably doesn't matter ?
But the CT60 PSON looks like a toggle on/off, so I'm a bit confused what's actually turning the whole thing on in the first place ? I assume things like the pico psu don't even use the PSON signal ?
I never heard of SV needed -12 V ?
Also, what was that issue where the voltages had to come up in a certain order or something ?
I've also decided the power cables will be modulor. There will just be a ATX power cable from CT60 to PSU board. Similar with Falcon power cable. The CT60e doesn't need the Falcon power cable. So if its a unpluggable cable, then it can just be left off.
The IDE port is in the way. Will have to probably do some sort of over-head mounting bracket above the PSU itself so the CF card can be mounted that way. No idea. But nowhere else to really mount it.

Re: Should exxos design a new CT60 PSU?
The first PSU draft looks like this..
I was half thinking of putting the regulator section on the bottom side of the PCB where the power block is.. BUT.. the inductors are pretty tall and they would have to fit under the board and not hit the videl.. and BUT 2 , its not good for ventilation of the regulator section if there's a solid power block above it. So like I said before, the regulator section will stick out a bit to the right of the IDE area. Shouldn't hit the falcon speaker on the shield, assuming anyones crazy enough to have left the speaker fitted in the first place.
The IDE connector is a PITA. I don't know if there be enough vertical height, but I may try and fit that above the power block somehow.. Or I may just look for a vertical CF adapter and just plug it right in, and just have a support section on the side of the PSU mounting stuff to fix the IDE CF PCB to.
