Are they really that hard to get? Have you checked these suppliers?http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/m_parts.html

Yes, but this one won't accept PayPal... postal money orders to the US are no longer available here, and a money transfer (Western Union?) will cost more than the price itself -- add the overseas shipping and the eventual customs clearance, and I may be paying four times the nominal price

They say 'Sorry but this item is currently unavailable'

And the $64 tag after discount (but before shipping+customs!) makes it hardly a good deal...

On the other hand, PSUs for the Quadra 700-650/IIcx/IIci/IIvx/PMac 7100 are much more common (and cheaper). Almost the same goes for PSUs for the LC, 6100, 7500 etc.

The one that I have and that looks like it came from IIsi has following specs:

Many thanks! Here we are a starting point... That doesn't seem to be a lot of power, with modern technology it's likely that someone makes a suitable PSU small enough to fit somewhere inside the IIsi case...

All the best,
