I would think so, yes. Was the connection to the floppy power port a
modification you made yourself or was it in the instructions that came with
the board? The Eyeline Direct article gave advice on how to connect the PPC
to other power 'points' on the mobo.

'fraid not. I'm referring to the monthly newsletter Eyetech's Amiga Tech
Support people wrote. It was subscriber-only (£6 for 12 issues IIRC) but I
stopped receiving it after about 5 issues.
I doubt Eyetech will have any copies left in stock (this was a year ago I
think) but I'm sure I've got my copy somewhere - give me a few days and I'll
see if I can find it.
