- Don't know if it's usual, but the PSU in my rev. 6 A2000 is a 250 watter as
- standard. Going to a 230 watt IBM would be a crazy backwards step.
- Incidently, my machine has 9 megs of Amiga ram, '030 accelerator, scsi
- interface, 24 bit graphics card, 486/50 bridgeboard with 4 megs of onboard
- IBM ram, ethernet card, vga ibm card, ibm in/out and floppy controller card,
- quad spin scsi CD-ROM and two big hard drives in it, all running very happily
- on the standard supply. No problems after several years! Supply runs reliably
- and stays very, very cool. Says it all really.......
