Re: ATX power supply, What size?

I'm interested in reading this thread further. I hope i will learn something useful to solve my own problem with my A4000. This one has 3 zorro boards (including Cyb64 3D, Deneb and A2386) and 3 ISA boards to use with the A2386, only one 3,5' HD, 2 floppy, and an USB internal bay, plus an indivision. Problem is the A2386 is sometimes working sometimes not, though always detected by sysinfo or sysspeed. It works perfectly when the configuration is more basic with less cards. I use a 200W ATX PSU modified by Cosmos to be A4000 friendly. I also have a genuine A4000 PSU: if i use it, the A2386 never boots properly.
It looks to me as a power problem (+5V or +12V, who knows?).
So i am puzzled when i read Piru is using 6 HD, etc with a small PSU.
I am definitly interested by a powerful A4000 PSU ready to be installed in the case.
Mechy, i'm counting on you, make us an A4000 APower :-)
