- I just got a Blizzard board and it keeps GURUing my system. All the RAM checks
- out OK, so I figure that my A500 power supply is just too overburdened to handle
- the external floppy, HD controller, A501 and blizzard board all at once. I have
- my 2 Hard drives slung in a baby AT case and was thinking of doing the Power
- supply hack to use the AT's power for the Amiga. I've looked at the DOC file for
- it, but I have some problems.
-
- 1) In the diagrams of the square din connector, it the pin layout shown as if
- I were looking into the connector on the cord, or the computer's plug?
-
- 2) Any good suggestions on this hack? Like how to do it without frying your
- system?
-
- I've purchased a cord from a blown A500 PS so my original PS will be left intact.
-
- Thanks for any help you can give!
