- Try and unplugging the second drive and see if the supplies go back
- to the proper values. I suspect you are loading the supply.
- Otherwise, look at the supply (I do not have one of these systems)
- and see if there is a limiting resistor on the front end of the
- swicher (close to the AC supply input) and look at its value. You
- can probably chop 20% off of the resistor value without hurting the
- supply. Any more and you could be in trouble.
-
- Good Luck...
