Ok, very good advice everyone, thank you!
I am also getting a scandoubler, so hearing about that, reminded me of it.
I found the Viper is offered at Softhut. Looks like I definitely need to shop around for a better power supply.  I'll see if they have one there when I order the Viper.


@novaburst-

I've ordered a bunch of stuff from Software Hut, including that A1200 scandoubler, good company!  Unfortunately, every time I ask they never have any A1200 power supplies (this was just a couple weeks ago).  Their solution?  Put it in a tower.  :-(  ...  Methinks not a bad idea 'tho, actually, as that scandoubler especially gets very hot!

@Karlos -

Any more details on feeding additional power in through the floppy connector?

Thanks,
Mike
