>200W power supply is pretty small now days. Might want to think about
getting at least a 300W. Only about $40 or so if you shop around. I have no
problems with mine and I'm running a full system: scsi cd-rom, dvd player,
scsi cd-rom burner, scsi card, 2 ethernet cards, sound card, 2 hard drives,
and of course the V5500. Isn't computers wonderful :)

200W is very border line with a 5500, if you have many other devices that
could be the problem.

Thanks

yeah, IF possible, change the plug in to another device, like the one
shared with the floppy disk, which you could temporarily unplug...saving a
few watts or amps or whatever those millihertz thingies are.. Good luck..
