I have just added a MicroNet MP-46 (Seagate 157N drive) to my relatively
new MAC+ (5 months old). I opted to use the floppy drive cable power
supply as it was cheaper:-) The question is as follows:

	1) What is the MAC+ power supply capable of delivering (watts)

	2) What is the demand (watts) on the supply from the MAC+ itself

It seems to work ok except that the drive does not become ready fast
enought to boot off it upon powering up. I must still press the reset to
get it to boot. With all the horror stories on the net about the MAC+
power supply I wonder if I did the right thing. Any comments?
