Summary: The supply are quite likely to work.

Hi folks.

As promissed I would post the results of my giant poll on 500 power problems.
I got 10 cases (incl. my own)

9 1meg+extra drive machines.
1 1meg machine.

One person had to have his power supply changed, and have not had any problems
since. One needed to tie something inside the powersupply to stop it "humming".

Based on the owerwhelming number of cases I dare the conclusion that you can
get 500 with a bad powersupply, but that it is not too common. Also most of us
is putting "max" load on the supply (512k+drive) and have not had any problems.

And so it became that we can all have a merry christmas and a happy a500.
