Does anyone know if a SupraDrive 500XP with 2Mb of 256kx4 DRAMS could
cause a sufficient enough power drain on the Amiga 500's power
supply to cause an incredibly large amount of system crashes?
I am using the stock power supply only.  I have a modem
and printer connected, but they both have their own power supplies.

What happens is I get an unusual number of Guru's while doing routine
operations from the CLI or AmigaShell, usualy bus errors or address errors.
The reason I say unusual is because I don't use alot of odd pieces
of software, just the c: commands and some commercial products.

Any input would be appreciated.
