I'll second that recommendation.

FWIW, the power supply in my Pegasus kit, with a 200 MB Connor mechanism, is
powerful enough to drive my loaded ROM 3 system:

    Slot 1:  Audio Animator stereo/MIDI (Imagewriter II on printer port)
    Slot 2:  12MHz/64K Zip GSX accellerator (Supra V.32bis on modem port)
    Slot 3:  Video Overlay Card (AppleColor RGB monitor)
    Slot 4:  AST Vision Plus video digitizer (standard mouse and extended kbd)
    Slot 5:  SuperDrive controller with two FDHD drives
    Slot 6:  PC Transporter (two 5.25 Drives on Smartport)
    Slot 7:  RamFAST SCSI controller (1MB cache)
    MEM slot:  CV-RAM card with 7MB (8MB total RAM)

I used to have a similar configuration on a ROM 01, and got occasional 911
errors at startup, but since putting in a ROM 3 mamaboard it hasn't given me
the slightest hiccup.  I'd recommend NOT buying a fan with the Pegasus, since
it blows more air around in the case than through it, and getting a System
Saver instead.  There's even enough room inside the System Saver to install a
second muffin fan behind the first if you need it.  I put in a second fan motor
that was twice as powerful as the first, and the air coming out is still quite
warm.
