A couple of weeks ago I posted an article about A590 boot problems and also
a possible remedy.
It has since then come to my attention that the 12V supply voltage to the
drive only affects the *Epson drives* in a way that causes trouble.

All new A590s have Western Digitals in them, and they are *not* as voltage
sensitive as the Epsons. I have an early unit (serno 458) and was not aware
of the WD drives until just recently... when I found out that a friend of mine
has 300K more storage capacity than I have. (Sigh.)

If you have boot problems with your WD-drive, it's probably *not* the 12V
line's fault.
