Muddling along with 5v 3a power supply on my Pi 5 until the "official one" shows up

[/RaspberryPi]

I just dropped a Pi5 into my C4Labs Cloudlet Cluster Case along with three Pi 4 8GB's and a Pi 3b. One of the others Pi's is providing GPIO power to the closest 50*50mm 5V fan.

Keyboard, mouse, wired Ethernet interface and external 1 GB SSD all are working with a lower power Dell USB-C power supply I had lying around. The the daggone proprietary power supply should arrive in a few days as backorders are finally dwindling.

I edited config.txt and added usb_max_current_enable=1 in the interim so I don't get the warning and need to hit the power button on boot since power adapter can't negotiate 5V/5A.
