 I have been experiencing a problem with my rainbow and my ST225 hard
 drive.  On rare occasions, when I turn on the computer, the ST225
 starts to spin and before it comes up to full speed it shuts the whole
 system off.  I believe the power supply is being overloaded but it
 doesn't make sense on such a small drive.  Has anyone had any similar
 problems with a larger hard drive?  Do you have to swap out your
 supply when you put in a large hard drive?

 Also, what exactly is code blue?  Can I use it without DOS 3.1?
