Not sure what PSU you're using but the chances are it may be powerful enough to power both the CPC AND the HxC without any problems. The power going to the CPC should be regulated at 5V so you could splice the wires from the a floppy power cable onto the correct wires of the cable, or maybe put in a request for someone to make a Y cable to split out the power?
The guy who sells the HXC has been working with another chap who sells the cables. He'll sell you a power cable splitter and a floppy cable that has been modified to switch the HXC to the A drive.
Be warned, a standard cable (which he also sells) will only let you use the HXC as a B drive (so few games will load). You need one with a switch attached (very rare second hand so you'll need to buy one new).
You'll have to check out the other "bay" as I believe posting links to there on here is frowned upon.
ENSURE you have the one with the switch. Being an idiot I bought the standard one and found it would only function as a B drive. You NEED the one with the inline switch that lets you select it as an A Drive.
