Don't know. How do I find out?

That could be interesting. Where do I find such?

This accellerator is on A1200 (2B) desktop running 180meg HD, using 500 PSU.
Tried two PSU's - both 500s and a 100 watter used for powering another
1200 (1D1) desktop with 030/40 (same as the problem one - with no problems
with that one.), 4.3G HD, CD-rom, and modem. Tried problem board in there
too but doesn't seem to like it either. Also tried it on a 1D4 mobo. Came
on a 1A mobo?
Don't think that cooling is a problem. Machine is open at present - no
cover and keyboard covering accellerator - just in case of arcing (see
earlier post). Still happening.
If you need more info, please ask.
