This problem DOES NOT - repeat - DOES NOT - have anything to do with the
supplied power.  We have two Amigas with 2 1080s hooked up to the same outlet.
Mine pops; my roommate's doesn't.  It doesn't matter if we switch sockets,
cords, etc.  Mine pops; my roommate's doesn't.  Some of the 1080's are flaky,
some aren't.  It definitely DOESN'T have anything to do with the supplied
power.
