	---- It still sounds like a PSU-problem to me, but please check the
following as well:

	* Has the drive made any weird noises lately (grinding, whining...)?
	* Does it get unusually hot?
	* Are the cables (SCSI, power) OK?

	A normal AT-PSU (not ATX!) plugs right in, if you can borrow one
please do so and test your TT with it. Especially older drives can draw a
lot of current when accessed, if the PSU can't deliver it the drive will
spin down. ----
