power to X800XT
The X800XT i'm using at the moment has a normal drive type power connector and a smaller floppy drive connector just below it, does that second connection require power or is it an alternative to the larger one.

Apparently its something to do with the TV-Out function of the card so one of the guys was saying, you only need to use the larger socket for power.
