Jim, Nope, I haven't heard of this problem, but 3 amps isn't much. One thing I'm curious about is whether the A1200HD ships with the same power supply as the A1200. I heard reports in the UK that they were shipping 4.5 amp supplies with some and 3 amp supplies with the other. Commodore seems to have been really crippling the A1200's without HDs by taking anything and everything they can out of the box that can save them a buck–I wonder if they're using smaller power supplies as well? Can someone who bought a Commodore-configured A1200HD with the 40MB drive look at the bottom of their power supply and see what the amp rating is on the 5v line?
