In reply to Steve Rice note. ( Sorry cannot include original due to some strange fault on mailer-daemon) Got it. I support your saying that no one without enough experience should try something that may *burn up* an Amiga. We may not stand it !. Anyway, I want to reinforce that the limitation of the interface is the number of milliAmperes that you can drain out of it, not the numer of whatever circuits you want to connect. My two exeternal drives are running since sept. 20th witn no problems. Other folks are doing the same. A company named BYTEC ( located in Italy, Via Brizzio 3, BRA (CUNEO)) is selling a two external drives box witn no external supply that we have fully tested (~500$) Summing up: it is possible to have two exeternal drives and no external power supply, BUT you must choose the right drivers, components and schematics. Having had direct requests fot the shopping list and instructions I'll post them in the next future. To the readers the final choice. Ciao. marco
