Help! Amiga 3000 video issue

[nscaleworld]

The following Amiga models can be expanded, because they have a beefy enough power supply:
 

• Amiga 2000
• Amiga 3000T
• Amiga 4000T

The following Amiga models should not be expanded, because of their low wattage power supply:
 

• Amiga 3000 (135w psu)
• Amiga 4000 (140w psu)

If you do decide to upgrade these Amiga models, by installing expansion boards, then the power supply really should be upgraded.

I had a p166 with a 135 watt power supply, it had voodoo 1 4meg card connected to a 2d 8 meg trident card, network card, sound card . run just fine for years too. Is that comparable?
edit: and a 56k diamond max pci modem too come to think of it.

This must be done to provoke an answer concerning the power supply on a 3000D.

Glad I read this thread to know I have been overloading and destroying my 3000D for the past 20 years!!!!  

I will go and remove my graphics card, network card, phone system card, and most of all the accelerator.  I had no idea of my abuse...

Sorry folks I just couldn't resist.  Keep it clean, cool and don't ever allow battery leakage, and 3000D's run perfectly maxed out and stable.  They will last forever.  Buster 11's are easy to find, if you don't have one upgrade...

The stock power supply works perfectly well in a 3000 with every slot populated...

Yeah, I saw that and thought capacitors.  Anyone know which ones are part of the Amber circuit?

PS:  I'm so glad I appear to have created a Doomy thread.
