The two power supplies are interchangable. As for the "new" drive acting up, 
odds are it has a problem that is manifesting itself only with the "new" C64C. 
 There serial numbers may provide a clue as to why.  The first C64C's used 
old boards same as the bread box 64's, whereas later C64C's used new 
reconfigured boards which condensed chips, etc. -- Rolf
