May I ask what type of power supply you're using in your setup?
That RapidRoad is dead for sure. We may take a look at it if you decide to send your ACA500plus back for a repair.
The old heavy one is not a good choice for an expanded Amiga - especially not the PPC one, but even the A500 with just the ACA500plus brings that to it's limits with an average total current of 2.4A on the 5V rail. When the drive starts to spin, you easily cross the 2.5A limit, where the voltage drops dangerously low to levels where a latch-up is more likely to happen - and this is what I suspect what happened to your setup.
Please make sure to use at least a 3A power supply for your setup. Avoid 3rd-party PSUs with MeanWell chassis.
Please ship the items for repair, and don't forget to include a short letter describing what to do on each unit. A reference like "as discussed on the forum" won't do it - please take the time for a sentence or two.
