Nor would I, but I'd give about $6 for one.

Many patients do not survive Dr. R.A.'s treatment, especially if The
Ultimate Adjustment Tool is employed. I am accustomed to having a large
number of like boxes from which to salvage a small number of boxes, the rest
resting in pieces. Having only the one Power Tower Pro, I have been more
cautious and circumspect than is my wont.
The State of the Union re the Power Tower Pro:
I've pulled the cache, disconnected the SCSI chain at the bus, installed
the 132 mhz 604 cpu card from a 7200 Mac, and booted successfully from an OS
8.0 Floppy. Still produces a *lot* of heat at the cpu. So. . .the original
180mhz cpu *seems* to have been dead and the cause of the blackscreen; what
killed it? When? Is the MoBo the culprit? Does it cook and eat little
CPUzzi's? Or, would another, properly matched CPU put all right?
