  • +3 Power SuppliesI have about 4 spare +2A power supplies. Can I use these with the +3, or is there any difference?

    There is a difference in current, I think +12V line due to FDD.
    Using +3 supply with +2A/B is safe, +2A supply may be overloaded with +3, especially with external interfaces.
    However, +2A is enough to boot +3 with divIDE, I did it many times.
