Hey guys
I just got a buffered IDE interface from Analogic computers. (dont know the name of it doesnt say and I cant get info) it has a Floppy type power connector with cable, but my a1200 obviously is using the floppy power for the floppy? Is there a y splitter cable or something so I can power both? Is it safe? TIA

thanks for the reply guys. I have a "Bigfoot" 300 watt 1200 psu! I looked on Amigakit, ebay, and other places couldnt find a splitter. I was worried about too much current off the a1200 floppy power header, but would it be ok just for 1 floppy and the ide buffered interface which must be low powered? (and does anyone know specs on the Analogic Buffered ATA 1200 interface I cant find any info)

Awesome! Thanks man I couldnt find it. You think it will be safe to power the ide buffer device and floppy?

Ok interesting. I'm using a compact flash card. Is that good since it has low power requirements?
