	OK, I've heard enough about this.

	The Commodore Amiga 500 has a -very- small power supply.
Between the virtually mandatory 1 meg expansion board, and an external
drive, there is little to no power left over for other uses.  However,
alternate power supplies have been produced for the 500 - although is
is somewhat easier for the 500 as it's power supply is external

	The point to all this is - has anyone considered the
possibility of beefing up the IIsi's power supply?  Can any hardware
person out there tell me that it's either impossible or not feasible
or horribly expensive to do this?
