- It's a long shot but anyway...
- I had a similar problem on my old A500. When I used my second diskdrive (df1)
- the screen flickered. It stopped when I improved the power connection to the
- motherboard ( I used a 230W PC PSU ). So it might me that your powersuply is
- too weak. This is not a fact just an idea or wild guess or whatever you would
- like to call it.
-
- Good luck.
