Comment on Tidy PSU – PD-64 C64 PSU Brings USB PD to Commodore 64parent

Comments

The title actually mentions "USB PD" - that's USB Power Delivery, the electrical magic which can increase voltage over USB lines to 12V, and increase power correspondingly.

Without USB-PD (or similar technologies), the max power over USB is limited to 10W (- wire loss), so it would not be enough to power C64 reliably. So it was included in the name.

So I am pretty sure that "PD" in the title has nothing to do with public domain.

Yes, it is unfortunate.
