I seem to be having a problem with my A1200 Power Supply.  I am no longer
able to warm boot the machine, it just hangs. Also when something crashes,
which seem to be happening more often, the power light sometimes just blinks
and a constant reboot goes no where.  Can someone please suggest what kind of
power supply I need to add to increase my E power.  Is there something simple
to get for that or not to complicated...
Thanks in advance

I assume you are using an A500 brick. The only thing that will drive my expanded 1200s. One Christmas back in 1995 I tried to add a 3.5" hard to my beloved 1200. That was when, quite by chance I plugged in the A500 brick by accident and it worked like a charm. Same happened when I tried to use an Apollo 060 and a Blizzard with an external CD attached to the machine.

You will know when you have a brick, they would stop a truck if you placed it in the middle of the road.

I have never had much joy with other power supplies like the Goliath.

Not sure that is power by the way. Have you tried running the computer without the hard drive for a while ?
