What does the floppy disk power drive connector do?
Does Z-link need extra power?

One of the ADAT ports would need power, the Z-Link would make sense too given the fact that it uses Firewire. There's a lot of buffering and a fair sized chip sitting on that card.

I don’t know, I would have to scan the forums and see if there’s any offers visible that were settled in the thread. Perhaps try that?

Gary, will that ZLink plate connect to an Xite?

i don't think it's a good idea. i believe the Z-link connections have power. they do on the Luna Expansion for sure.

Even if Z-Link would allow some scope/xites to connect: Is there a Slave-mode in Z-Link ?
(My A16u doesn't allow slave in Z-link-mode)

Glad I put that out there. I don't have a need, but since this plate isn't moving that question would have come up eventually.
