I've been tinkering again with my Color Classic, putting an LC575 with full 68040 and a Comm Slot plus 64 mb ram in the little thing. For years it's had an LC550 board in there, but I decided just to see what difference an 040 made in usage.
Connecting an external drive to the SCSI port, however, led to peculiar behaviour: the green power LED flickered constantly, as if the power were marginal. The drive was also not recognized.
Does a drive connected to the rear SCSI port draw power in a quantity that would explain this behaviour? I would have thought the additional power required would be marginal, given the external power supply in the drive itself.
