How do you supply power to 2nd external drive? Commodore Amiga says even new external drives not designed to supply power for next drive in daisey chain. The Amiga cpu power supply is not designed to support 2nd external drive says Commodore. Commodore seen Commodore seems to say that if the 2nd external disk blows the cpu, its your problem. Commodore does not seem to want to help me nor to give a direct answer to this or to most any other question I ask. Amiga in Los Gatos is most helpful and nice, but they have been told by Commodore in Pa not to answer and more customer's questions. Maybe Commodore is trying to bankrupt themselves again. They act like the Republican party whenever they get into office: they immediately see what they can to to commit suicide. I may try 2nd drive anyway. Would it be DF2:? Thanks for any help.
