  I also have a TC500, and a 500 (duh!).  I bought a 150 watt IBM XT power
supply, and rigged a cable to that it powers both the 500, and the TrumpCard.
This seems to work great.  I have 1 meg on the machine, and 2 more in the 
TrunpCard.  The computer and Drive both run relatively cool, and everything
seems to be working normal.  I've had this settup for about 18 months now.

Hope this was of some value (just a little...maybe...)
