Well Iv got what you have also a 180M hard drive a GSTranswarp and a hand
scanner board with 5M of memory. Mine here in Australia we're using 250V at 50
Hz power but my power supply has been working since the day I got it with a skip
or bump. Here is when I vigorously knock on wood. I do however have a spare just
in case.
