Description

The Spectravideo SVI-201 is an external AC adapter designed for the SVI-300 computer series, the SVI-728 computer and the SVI-707 disk drive.

SVI-728 computers that were sold in the USA/North America use the same power supply as the Blue Chip BCD 5.25" floppy disk drive for the Commodore 64.

The model number can also be 318-201, 108-138 or 108-148.

NOTE!
Despite some models of the adapter proclaiming to support the 300 and 700 series, the SVI-738 actually uses a different incompatible AC adapter (AC 16V, 2VA).
