I also have one of the early Macs.  I can only get my power supply up to
~4.8V (with 1Meg, homebrew) before it folds back.  I COULD go to my
dealer for a power supply repair (read: swap) and hope for a stiffer
one, but I won't until it would really be worth the ~$100.

I would really like to add an external 5V supply to my Mac (yes, I know
it's an UGLY thought).  However, I don't know if any power supply
sequencing rules apply.  But perhaps there aren't any to speak of (with
the power supply oscillating wildly at ~2Hz between supplying current
and foldback, no Mac I am aware of has incurred any damage). 

Any comments from hardware hackers out there?
