        I saw some real nice memory expansions at the AmiExpo, so you might
want to hold off on that purchase till the next issue comes out.   Also,
I recommend that you try to have a 68881 socket available in one of your
expansions.  Furthermore,  if you want to save money hold off on the second
drive, you can live without it, and you'll be that much closer to a Hard
Drive.  Untill then VD0: (a virtual disk which is pretty reliable) and 
FACCII (Floppy ACCellorator kit, software) and sizeable RAM are usually
sufficient.

                                                        Good Luck,

                                                                Wade.


        [PS: You might be able to get by with the standard power supply with
                just one floppy, but I would go out and replace it.  Beware
                that one of the units available is mis rated (lists peak
                rather than sustained rating), though I can't remember which]
