    It'll use the same PS as the 800xl, 65xe, 130xe, or xegs. From the 8-bit FAQ at: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq/

    5 V DC 1.5 A 7.5 VA Max:varies, 25W 30W 40W Atari#C061982/CA024814
    600XL,800XL,65XE,130XE,XE Game System
    Four versions, as described by B&C ComputerVisions, see:
    http://www.myatari.com/ebay/psxl.jpg
    Version #1(upper left), the White Brick, has a white top and dark brown
    bottom, 4" X 8" & 2 1/2" high. Version #1 was shipped with early
    600XL/800XL computers. Very reliable. Very Rare. 30W rating.

    Version #2(lower left), the Black Brick, is same shape and size as Version
    #1 but all black, 4" X 8" & 2 1/2" high. Version #2 was shipped with
    later 600XL/800XL computers. Very reliable. Very Rare.

    Version #3(center top), the Ingot, is solid & all black,
    3 1/4" X 5" & 2 1/2" high. It was shipped with most 600XL/800XL and some
    65/130XE computers. If this version fails it can damage the computer if
    not turned off quickly. Not recommended for unattended operations. If
    hum bars are seen on the screen disconnect Version #3 power packs.
    40W rating.

    Version #4(top right), the Box, is slightly smaller than the Ver #3 at
    3" X 4 1/2" & 2 1/2" high. It was shipped with most 130XE computers.
    Very reliable. Getting hard to find. We recommend this version for 130XE
    and 800XL computers. 25W rating.

    This is actually useful for me, since I've got a couple of 600XL computers without power supplies (I don't know why I find that particular model that way). I've got a 130XE and an XEGS, so looks like I'm set.
