 I have an Amiga 500 and a 20MB Supradrive 500XP which I'm having problems
with, and wondered if anyone had seen anything similar.
 The machine boots from the hard drive fine, and in the course of working
with it occasionally the drive powers itself down, then in a few seconds
powers itself back up. This can be particularly devastating if you have to
be saving a file from an editor. There is no real pattern to when if will
decide to power down, sometimes it will go for an hour and be fine, sometimes
it will do this 3 or 4 times in a 10 minute span. Anybody have any ideas?
     Thanks,
              Jamii
