Yet another question about hard drives for the A500.

I already own an A590 (standard drive + 2 Meg memory) and I want to add
a SCSI drive. I can purchase the drive no problems, but I am wary about
what power supply to use.

Is the original A590 supply powerful enough to drive 2 hard disks (does anyone
have the spec. cos that would be most useful !) ? Has anyone added a second
drive ? If so, what supply did they use if it was not the A590 supply ?

I would be most grateful if anyone could help me on any the above points, and
my A590 is filling fast.

BTW I am thinking of adding a 60 Meg Seagate drive which I can purchase for
about 240 pounds - is there anyone out there who might have a cheaper one ?

Thanx in advance.
