- I have a Dataflyer XDS for my A1200. It runs an internal
- 2.5" and an external 3.5" it runs fine with the A1200 stock power
- supply. Other than the Dataflyer, it is an unexpanded A1200. The
- Dataflyer gives a faster access to the external Hard Drive, than
- the A1200 embeded controller gives to the internal drive.
