Yes, a power supply would make sense.  Do you remember which one?
Not the 1051, based on the quoted post.  7778?  TLA10113?

 > All but two 50 Series CPUs that ever shipped had code names of cats 

Well, animals.  Other than the 'toons, most of the code names, and not
just cpus,seem to have been animals.  Quite a few are cataloged here:

The name of the 9950 apparently changed during development.  If you were
at Prime later, it was probably before your time.
