   Hey Richard,   
      
    RM> Commodore power bricks are said to be bad quality.   
      
   This is what I've heard too, so I'll stay clear of the one that comes with it   
   and wait for a new one that is much better built.   
      
    RM> Having a 1541 Ultimate is definitely a good idea!   
      
   That's what I thought. It's a great piece of kit.   
      
    RM> But it might be even better to go the UItimate 64 route.   
      
   I thought about that, but 1) desoldering all those chips is going to be a   
   paaaaaain (I'm already at my skill limit with the caps), and 2) I wanted to   
   try and keep it as stock as possible. I'm sure you can relate :)   
      
    RM> I assembled an EasyFlash cart once:

   Oh dope! Didn't know you could do this. I definitely want to try and keep it   
   as stock as possible but once I get "bored" I might try this out. Of course,   
   another $80 I shouldn't be spending ;-)   
      
   Thanks for the advice and insight.   
      
   - Andre
