    I ran a 1200 with 1230 + scsi + HDD and extra floppy drive off a standard 12000 PSU for years so you'll be fine as you are.

    Mine had severe trouble doing that, until I replaced PSU.

    It depends on each PSU. Mine wasn't good enough to run my A1200 with a 1230, 2.5" HD and laptop DVD/CD-RW. An A500 PSU worked fine though. But I normally run it using a Goliath PSU.

    No. The system will just be unstable if the PSU is not strong enough. Normally it either won't boot properly. Might cause a red guru screen. Or it might load workbench but then suddenly reboot/reset while using the system.
