I'd love to add a Winchester disk, but I understand that the early PCs
did not have a power supply capable of driving a Winchester. How can
I tell which power supply I have? My Google-fu has failed me on this
query. Unfortunately it's not sitting in front of me at the moment, so
I can't read any part numbers off of it; I'll have a look later
tonight, but I recall it being a 65W power supply.
I'm pretty sure the 65W PS was the original one that was too small
to support a hard drive.
