- Buffered outputs, for communicating with older 5.25″ and 8″ disk drives
- Integrated power connector for directly powering most 3.5″ disk drives
- Write-enable jumper can be removed for safer preservation of precious vintage disks
- Supports flippy-modded 5.25″ drives
- Supports Disk-Change detection as used by Rob Smith’s integration into the WinUAE Amiga emulator
- 3 user-definable outputs (eg. 8″ interface REDWC signal)
- 100% factory tested, and tested again by me before shipping

This listing is for the Greaseweazle V4.1 device only. And does not include which you will require:
- A disk drive (for example a PC 3.5″ or 5.25″ drive)
- A floppy ribbon cable (typically you want a standard PC cable with ‘twist’ on pins 10-16, to communicate with a PC floppy drive)
- Floppy drive power cable, or power supply

Amiga A4000 PSU Recapping Service
Amiga A4000 PSU recapping service – NOTE this is NOT a repair service.
- Removal of existing capacitors.
- Cleanup and preparation of area.
- Replace using Panasonic/Wurth/KEMET capacitors.
- Test output voltages (not under load)
Recapping the Amiga A4000 PSU is a good preventive measure, the reason being these capacitors are under alot of stress (which they are designed to take of course) however with age they start getting tired which could lead to issues later on.
All that needs to be sent is the Amiga 4000 PSU itself.
