Does anyone know of sources for second external floppy disk
drives for A500s or A1000 which have their own power supplies?
The docs all say DF2: and following should provide their own
"wall power", but all the vendors seem to think I'm nuts.
   So what's the deal?  Does anybody carry outboard drives
with wall power and pass-through?  I've heard the power supplies
on A500/1000s die if too much load is put on them, and I don't
want to have to deal with that.  Note that both of the machines
I'm particularly interested in have internal memory exp. 
and one external floppy already.
  Thanks,
