Hmm. I've had similar trouble with those cheap Chinese PSUs. What I use now is a standard Desktop PSU with it's own switch on the back. By jumping two of the connections on the motherboard connector to simulate the Desktop's power button, I find it works a treat and has all the different connectors I need.

I've got this working now with my arduino the floppy drives I have are quite quiet though.
Unfortunately the psu I was using just fried my external hdd (the psu has a molex connector on to be used with a sata USB bridge but I was using it to power my floppy drives) so I hesitate to get it up and running again. Does anybody have a spare psu they could donate please!!!On 21 Nov 2013 00:18, "George Reynolds" <george.reynolds@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi
Being a little bit of a cool person (!)
I really want to try the whole "make music from floppy drives" and wondered if anybody wanted to help me with my little project.I am hopefully getting an arduino for Christmas but I need something scary called a breadboard and a soldering iron to do the rest. I also need an ATX PSU and 8 floppy drives which I can probably get myself. I can possibly get some but not all of the cables as well!

Anybody handy with a soldering Iron? ?
Thanks
I can't remember which two pins to jump and I'm currently remote from the device. I found it pretty easily via Google though...
