Will the Exxos PSU work as a replacement PSU for a TT030?
Not that I need one as yet but it's always good to know.
TT030 with Storm with 256 Mb Ram, Thunder with a CF drive and Lightning, HxC floppy emulator and one of Codekiller's magical Mono/Colour switchers, also 3 STS one has TOS1.0 AND 2.06 switchable with an HD drive, the other two are untested as yet, just bought for spares!!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no.
I think the TT uses a PSU similar to the MSTE, and it is quite different to the standard ST that @exxos PSU replaces, and is more PC like.

Collector of many retro things!

No it won't. TT/MSTE PSU has negative voltage rails, higher currents, totally different physical size. If it was compatible then there would be guides etc

Pity.

Yeah, the TT power supply is essentially a PC-AT power supply in a smaller form factor.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
