I was fixing 'old' computers all day anyway [1]. But starting at 14:00 and going on until I'm tired would probably give 5-6 hours of repair time. Which is not a lot when faced with a non-working machine that I've never seen before, however well I know that type of machine. Actually, I probably would have gone, had I been nearer. But having an ocean in the way does make things difficult... [1] Still doing battle with the Philips P3800 that we discussed the lock from some time back (still need to do more on that part!). I am hoping an ATX power supply, chosen because they are cheap and have logic-level on/off switching, can be used to replace the missing Philips board. So my bench is covered in bits of ATX power supply in various states of dismantled-ness. -tony
