How many speccys had two drives, a comms and mouse I/F running off that? I don't like the sound of all that coming of a single 5V supply. I'm not sure if it could handle it, but then again, the PSU is built like a brick... I can't remeber how good the speccy supply was but it got awful warm when I had my WafaDrives running, remember them ;) Dan Doore > imc > > PS hooray for the reply-to line! :-) >
