- Basically I want to know if it would be okay to run two drives from the
- rochard controller form the A500. It has its own psu that has these specs:
- input - 100-250V 50-60Hz 1.2A
- output - 5V 3A
- 12V 2A
-
- ok, this is the output to the controller where I have 4 x 1meg (9bit) simms
- onboard, and a fan running.
- If I were to use a splitter from the power connector for the HD to power
- a 105-120 IDE drive and a 52 meg IDE drive, can the psu handle this drain?
- or do I have to purchase a separte psu . If I do have to purchase a psu, how
- do I go about adapting/using one??
-
- heaps of thanks in response!!
