Aside from the components on the PCB, one does also need a transformator, which isn't shown on the photos. Despite of being a very important component, the DIY article contained only few side-notes on the transformator. The thing must provide a number of AC voltages, and it might be difficult to find a matching transformator (one could get one from the magazine via mail-order, but it wasn't cheap).
== Connection Caution Cautions ==
'''Caution''' - The supply uses the same type of 2x32 pin connector as the other Schneiderware boards, however, the supply is '''NOT''' intended to be plugged into the [[ECB Bus]] sockets, instead, it should be wired to the 7 soldering points on the [[Schneiderware Basisplatine]]. The CPC's internal +5V supply should be disconnected when connecting the external power-supply, otherwise something terrible might happen (for example, when one supply tries to output a few more volts than the other, or so).
