As I was saying, is there any detriment to feeding the A1200 with power, from the same power supply, via two different paths?
EDIT: I don't actually have any plug-in PSU's for the additional devices anyway, so I need to power them from somewhere...
It's OK to feed the motherboard via the standard socket
and the floppy power pin header (
if the PSU is the same). I do it to mine and it runs OK, with little voltage dropout. Specially heavy power-hungry accelerators would be benefited for a loss-less power rail (like 040 accelerators or PPC).
For feed other devices, just put (or leave untouched) the original 4-ways Molex connectors.
Trust me, I have a degree in electricity!
@Moto: the Amiga don't use the 3.3V rail anywhere! Just +5V, +12V and -12V.
