Well, I've got the following stuck in an origional IBM PC case with the origional 63w power supply 286-12 with 2.5 meg st238 (30 meg rlled st225) and controller 1.4 meg fd and controller vga card 2 serial ports on a card. No problem so far. I've also stuck a Plus 20 meg hard card in here as well at the same time, though I don't run with this often. bruce -- Bruce O'Neel oneel@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov NASA/GSFC/STX/Code 664
