  14. [All stuff deleted because I'm typing this manually with a plain VT100
  15.  emulator on a CMS system..  Eeeeek..]
  16.  
  17.  
  18. Okay...  I missed the original poster to my question, but luckily was
  19. quoted and I think I got the idea.  The drive was measured taking about
  20. 1a once before.  I put a new power supply on it yesterday, and something
  21. is STILL wrong..  The drive does the same *plink plink* stuff it does
  22. when it's overjuiced..  The +12 is 12.03 and the +5 is around 5.12, but
  23. when I put a load on it it drops to 5.03..
  24.  
  25. The +5 side has 4.8 (!) amps, and the +12 has 1.1.  What could be the
  26. problem here?
  27.  
  28.  
  29. I swear..  Me and power supplies *don't* make a good combination.. :(
  30.  
  31. Thanks for your help so far.. :)
