i have a CD32 that wont recognise expansions
When i plug my expansions in, it has a faint power light and nothing comes on. and thats its, no power to hard drives etc. I have tried devices on other machines and its fine.

I'd check the connector on the CD32 first of all. Over time they can get rusty and make bad connections. I had an A1200 with an accelerator and the machine was intermittent, I gave the expansion connector a good clean with some lemon juice then some IPA and it has worked a treat ever since. :-)

lemon juice... not very safe - better use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraser - rubber one (not vinyl type)
