As I recall the manual that comes with the A500 or maybe the A1010 specifically states that you SHOULDN'T daisy-chain the A1010 drive. I'm sure there is a good reason for them to say that. I suggest getting a drive with it's own power supply, or a separate power supply with multiple outputs. -- //Another Julius Andrew Cisek jac423@leah.albany.edu \X/ Amiga Box 199, 325 Western Ave. jac423@rachel.albany.edu Maniac Albany, NY 12203 spcfan@ai.ai.mit.edu
