About a year ago I was convinced the people in Mimetics that the Amiga 500
power supply was too weak to power their genlock, so I bought a new one,
from an outfit called Phoenix.  The first one they shipped didn't work at
all.  The second one caught fire after a few hours work.  I recommend
avoiding them.

(Turned out the Mimetics people were wrong, and I didn't need a new power
supply at all, which was fortunate!)
