I have just fitted my ZIV to my A1200T this morning (though I am having
probs with my new CV643d). The P8 and P9 from the PC power supply in my
Power Tower were unclipped from the supply to the motherboard / power
switch and simply plugged into the ZIV. The Amiga motherboard is then
actually powered through the ZIV via the accelerator connection where the
ZIV connects on (along with your existing acc board.

No probs. Oh, by the way. I managed to bugger the reset cable to my
motherboard. Imagine my delight when I found a reset connector on the ZIV
:)
