A500 GVP hard drive question
« on: June 06, 2003, 03:30:36 PM »
does this thing need its own power supply, or does it leech off the A500 ?

thanks for the help guys!  I cancelled my bid.  No use buying something and then not being able to use it because it needs its own PSU.

?

the A1200 psu will not work on a GVP hard drive, correct?  I have a few A500 psu's..but the A530 uses its own type of connector right?
