Hello!
Does anyone know if the 2000's power supply has the same type of connectors
for adding disk drives that IBM uses? I am considering purchasing a 2000 with
a bridgeboard and slapping a hardcard on the PC side. Some hardcards get their
power directly from the PC bus while others require a separate connection to
the power supply. Do I have to stick to the type that zap power directly from
the bus, or does the 2000 power supply have the right connectors to accept the
power hungry hardcards? I believe that the connectors are the same type that
floppy drives use. Thanks in advance.

Mike,
Yes, it has standard 4 pin connectors (both large and small) for
powering either a Hard Drive or floppy. You might need an extender thou as
they are designed to be used with drives inserted in the drive bays so they may
or may not stretch that far.
