        The PSU is odd in that a single one had leads going to both
the sidecar/controller and to the drive itself. I went from the
T-disk to a GVP HD8+ on an A500 and then to my A3000 after a number
of PC's.

        I've never disassembled either the sidecar or the drive
enclosure so I'm not sure what the actual interface is. I started to
take the drive enclosure apart once but it was doing it's best to
stay together and not reveal what was inside!

        If you ever get any of the ads scanned, I'd be interested in
seeing them.
