Just out of curiosity, just what is that size in watts of the 3000 power supply? Having a 3000 myself, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of an 040 board to add, stock another 8MB of RAM and pop a Toaster in (I'm willing to cut my case as soon as the 2.0 of the Toaster software comes out.). I don't see how this could tax the power supply but the most recent AVID (color covers) had blurps here and there that the 3000 power supply is "flakey" and may not be able to handle the load of future Toaster expansion products. Given the history of Commodore and power supplies, who knows. I know a few people with Toasters in the 3000's had have had no problems at all so far… About the only thing I'd add outside of the above is more RAM. Storage is external for me now anyway… Dan Lots of dreams, no money to fullfill them! 🙂 Dan McCoy – via Whap! and saving money doing it too!
