Thanks, Don. That might be it. I will wait for a week or so before I go ahead with the idea of supplying power direct to the last drive. Another strange thing I found out about the power lines in the Amiga is that, as you know, 1.2 adjusts automatically to PAL or NTSC Amigas, but when I connect a 5.25" drive that is powered by 110v to my PAL Amiga, 1.2 thinks that it is an NTSC one and limits the Workbench screen to 640×400. This happens about one boot in five. What the hell for? Shouldn't it just test the screen size directly? Or is my reasoning wrong?
