Today, my user group (BATS, the Brooklyn-Amiga Technical
Society, a subset of AMUSE; check out our Bboard at 718-3383501
evenings), were playing around with 2 Amigas (try Flight Simulator in
multiplayer mode: its a blast). At the end, when we were packing up,
we tried daisy-chaining a second external drive onto one of the
machines.

We ran into problems: Workbench showed df2: as 'BAD'. c:info
showed df2: as 'unreadable'. c:list put up a requestor with 'Non-Dos
disk in df2:' c:format ran ok during the format stage, but verify
failed. (We did not try reading that disk in another drive). We could
not write to the disk in df2:.

Some people suggested that the power supply was not up to it; but
I am under the impression the it is supposed to be able to run up to 3
externals. Anyone have any idea what we did wrong?
