I just killed my 600

I was just finishing up on installing a CF hard drive in my 600 when I decided to run some aditional power to my Motherboard.  I had soldered wires on the power connecter and ran it to the floppy power  connection.  I was running my CF off of a 40 pin IDE connection so I had to power my adaptor and I used a power splitter.  I didn't have one so I made one out off a extra parts I had laying around. Connected the power cables with the CF adator in the middle and turned on.  Nothing..... Took it apart and noticed that the red and black wires going to the CF card was connected to the yellow and black wires.  BAD....I just toasted my SAN Disk Compact flash and now the computer doesn't run.  

Is my computer dead or can it be resurected.

I read that it helps with stability to run power to the floppy power connection.  I messed up when I used the molex connectors from some old fans.  The wires were correctly color coded but I didn't notice they were connected to the 12 v part of the molex plug.

I am using an old AT power supply to run things.  I could never find a original Commodore PS .

GOOD NEWS!!!!  I unplugged the floppy drive and now it will boot from the hard drive.  I have the A600 motherboard installed in a A500+ case using an A500 floppy drive.  I tried to install my A600 floppy but it won't fit in a A500 case so I took the floppy that wasn't working apart to se if i could fix it.  I checked it out but couldn't find anything wrong so I put it back together; crossed my fingers and connected it up again.  IT WORKS........... at least so far.  I will probably source another A500 floppy to use as a spare just in case.  

I guess I just burnt another of my Amigas nine lives.   Got 7 more to spare.

The CF card is toast though.  Thats alright though, I was getting a little cramped in 2 GB.

I have rewired my power connections correctly this time so there is plenty of power to go around.  I hope to get one of the accelerators that they are working on over at EAB whenever they come out. (hopefully soon)

I decided to hang it off the RGB port.  That way I could move it to my A500 if I needed too.
