howdy ya'll...

just got my 1000 from ebay and it's not working so good!

first I had to switch the powersupply coz I'm in europe and all.
the supplied one gave 9VDC/1000ma so I bought a new one
with the same specs.

But the drive wouldn't spin up, and when I checked the voltages on
the drive power connecter, it only gave 9v on the 12v pin.

could it be that my own powersupply is not up to par with the demands
of the snap (cheap piece of shit!), is it really a 12v supply that i need or
is the built-in 9v->12 converstion borked?

please assist me here fellow snap'ers!
thanks!
