I think the bigger problem might be overloading the 12 volt rail on the STacy power supply.

What's it rated for?

Not sure, I'd have to check that. Right now, it's just powering the UltraSatan. It used to power
the 20meg MFM hard drive, so I was thinking if it could do that, it would handle the Pico since
the Pico is supposed to be low reqs.

However not impossible, it's advised to use a single power supply to power all components that reside in a single unit.

Hmm, can you give the reasons for that? I'm not doubting it, just curious as to why (other than convenience).

I'd love to have the Pico do everything, but have you seen the internal connections for the STacy's P/S? Its not the
(relatively) simple connection that a standard ST is unfortunately.

Thanks for the offer. The gf will be over tonight, so she will be getting a lesson in 8-bit and ST machines :)

Right, you can <cough> boot both of them! :)

I have had a similar experience - when I replaced the P/S on my Mega ST4, everything was much crisper on the
display...
