Thanks Sprocket, I checked tonight, I'll double-check tommorow in better light....
BUT, have some more questions for you guys. I'm pretty sure my power supply is suspect, ... in fact, it's pretty much dead, ATM. OK, is the PSU in an A4000T standard? using a multimeter on the PSU just before it went, I wasn't getting +12V on the yellow wire, more like 8V (on the 4-pin molex connectors) . Is it common, or even possible, that a PSU can 'start to go bad' before it finally dies? If, by some merciful chance, this is my problem, how hard is it to replace the 4000's PSU? Many Many Thanks everyone.

I see you've gotten the A4000T fixed which is GREAT. To answer your question, AT power supplies especially can have portions start to fail before they goes fully bad.
Without good power an Amiga won't run reliably. I don't have an A4000T but there are adapters for newer power supplies to adapt them to the Amiga power connector. I don't know which fit the A4000T case. I've never been lucky enough to own an A4000T.
My A1200 runs of a fine used ATX power supply so I don't have to worry about too many accessories.
:-D
