I've heard that one could feed extra power into the A1200 mobo by using the floppy connector.
Is this true? It sounds a little bit dangerous...

So in theory, I could connect an AT PSU to the miggy via the floppy connector?

@Karlos
Of course...
Thing is that the miggy hangs every now and then. The sound is corrupted etc. etc...
Conclusion: I don't think that ol PSU of mine is enought to power accelerator, HD, floppy, mobo...

BTW. Do the different revisions of A1200 motherboards have a different power usage?
