Works absolutely fine for me and I had this set up for a fair few years now. I use the original power connector to supply 5v/12v/-12v/0v rails and the floppy power header to boost the 5v/12v/0v rails.

A friend with a similar config to me powered his motherboard/accelerator only through the original power port and actually ended up fusing something on the 1200 motherboard after a few months.

@cyberus

Directly from the PSU. I'm not sure if you misunderstood - we are talking about powering the A1200 motherboard in a tower system by feeding power into it from 2 places at once. Naturally drives and so on will be powered directly from the PSU.
