what happens when you hook up some extra IDE drives? I have never had

load the supply. It didn't take the motherboard on those original 130
watt IBM
supplies to start them, just the drive bay load resistor.

The problem is I need to use a PC power supply
(AT-class with it's own
power switch) as a 12V power source, and the only one I have access to
needs a minimum load of 3Amp on the +5Volt line.
