I believe old A1010's did not pass the power, as you note. I understand there's plenty of power available if you aren't trying to power too many things external to your amiga. I don't know what the daisychain socket on an A1010 looks like, but you might be able to add a jumper in the first A1010 to pass power. Pin 12 is for +5 volts, and pin 23 is for +12 volts. > > Bill Nichols > arpa wn0e@andrew.cmu.edu > bitnet Nichols@fnal, or Nichols@cmphys > ---------- Tom Bruhns tomb%hplsla@hplabs.hp.com
