Hi Robert,
I don't know whether those PSs have a bad eputation,
but for sure I had both of my PCC boxes failing just
in that particular component.
Bad luck? Black magic?
Went on strike, asking for a power raise?
Sure it is odd, to say the least, that 2 out of 2 did
die after around than 3 years of operation. Except for
2 MacIIcx's (but they are 12 years old), never had a
PS die on me.
Cheers
Andrea
