Personally I would avoid running it off another PSU as the 2 PSUs could
have different earth potentials this causing an earth loop which can
cause all sort of odd problems, but if the two are run off the same
multiboard and you sit one on top of the other you _should_ be OK.

Yeah, I would. If I had one.

Why not just use a Y-splitter on the HDD power cable? The PSU will
handle it, I've done it many times in the past on the Deskpro EN SFF's

So, I've got myself a P3 600 DeskPro EN SFF.
Problem is, there is only one HDD power connector, and, guess what, it
is connected to the HDD. I tried to do a floppy boot (SUSE 9.1), but
no go.
Is it electrically sensible to connect a CD drive to the DeskPro,
where the CD drive is powered by another computer's power supply?
Or will I risk the magic smoke escaping from various parts?
Cheers,
Carl.
