    A number of years ago, in the 1990-1995 range I think, I had a Commodore specific magazine that had an article in it on how to build an
    uninterruptable power supply for the C64. I can't for the life of me
    remember the name of the magazine! It was a pretty cool circuit for it, it
    used 2 power transistors to generate the pseudo VAC from a DC gel cell.

    Any ideas? Any idea the name of the magazine? Anyone remember this at all?
    :)

    Thanks!

    Maybe someone out there has some issues archived by now ?????? ( hint -

    I have seen a Transactor archive mentioned several times in the past. I
    didn't make a note of the URL, but maybe you could find it with Google.

    Hello All,

    It is definitely in an issue of Commodore magazine. I have read the
    article several times. My magazines are currently in storage, and I
    expect it will be around late September or early October before I will
    be emptying that storage unit. If you have still not located that
    article by then let me know. I do know that it was in a very late
    80's issue (I believe during 1988 or possibly 1989), and prior to the
    RUN magazine merger. When I get everything out of that storage unit,
    I'll be able to provide anyone who wants to know the exact issue
    number and year.

    In the mean time, I wish you the best of luck locating the article.
