I am hooking more and more up to my A500 next to my TRUMPCARD (without power supply) and my digitizer and the .5 MEG internal memory I want to get 2 extra MEGS How do I find out I am overusing my power supply? How far can I go? What will be the first problems? How will I notice I am in trouble? How hard is it to built a new Power Supply? Can I use a PC power supply with some additions? I heard the A500 does not need a 60 HZ signal it that right? Thanks, Nils Gokemeijer (NJ_GOKEMEIJE@FANDM.bitnet)

I also have a TC500, and a 500 (duh!). I bought a 150 watt IBM XT power supply, and rigged a cable to that it powers both the 500, and the TrumpCard. This seems to work great. I have 1 meg on the machine, and 2 more in the TrunpCard. The computer and Drive both run relatively cool, and everything seems to be working normal. I've had this settup for about 18 months now. Hope this was of some value (just a little...maybe...) ___________________________________________________________________ / |CIVIR1070@ucsvax.sdsu.edu| Q: Is there a UNIX FORTRAN optomizer? \ \ | Scott Ellis | A: Yeah, "rm *.f" _ / / |_________________________| _ // Amiga \ \_______________________________________________\X/_________________/
