Sometime ago I posted a request for source(s) of alternate, larger Apple 
power supplies, but received none.  This seems like a good place to relate 
again my experience with the above (and others, like them, made in Taiwan 
& Korea).

In summary:  with 5 cards in the IIe (no Transwarp, but another accelerator
and 2 ramdisks), they have been unreliable.  Not only have some been dead 
on arrival, but I don't think any of them lasted more than 12 months.  For 
my particular configuration, it turned out that adding a system saver solved 
the problem, although the margins were less than I could have hoped for.

Again I ask, has anyone found a larger, reliable power supply?  Even custom
built experiences would be welcome.
