Thanks for your reply Chad. Makes me shudder a bit! For some reason all goes well in putting Workbench 3.0 on to the hard disk, or for that matter any small program. It is when I attempt to load the 40 odd disks of the Toaster 3.0 that things go wrong. There is just no exact pattern. Sometimes it quits after 9 or 10 disks…. sometimes after 20. Sometimes it quits when the floppy is reading the compressed data…. and sometimes when the computer is trying to un-archive the stuff. It is in the studio control room, where we keep the temp' at about 70 F. Does anyone make more hefty power supplies for the Amiga 4000 ? Is there anything special about them? Which of the voltages tend to be "queer" and cause the problem…. the 5 volt or 12 volt supplies. Maybe I can hang another supply on the back!…. or a small seperate supply for just the hard disk ? If you or anyone know more….. rescue me! Again thanks and all the best, Hilary.
