I have a question concerning my wimpy power supply on my A500. I have
had a 63.5 watt IB* XT power supply fall into my lab for a very good
price. (Read free). I wish to replace my stock baby A500 supply with it.
I have identified the proper lines on the XT supply (+5v,+12v,-12,gnd) from
the main outputs of the XT supply. (Anyone familier with one knows
that there are about 15 wires there.)

My problem is this: on the bottem of my present
A500 supply, there is a nice handy wiring diagram, with all
lines labeled quite nicely,[3mEXCEPT[0m, there is a signal ground 
and a shield ground pin. There are two separate pins. What is the
difference and is there something coresponding on the output of my XT
supply? I's jest gots to know; before my A500 supply blows up and
takes my machine with it.

Basicly, what are these pins and how do I hook them up to my XT supply?
Just what is the computer looking for on these lines?

If you can save my butt, thanks very much in advance...
