I'm on about my four-and-a-halfth power supply, and my second Sam. The failure of my first Sam can be attributed mostly to the person who "fixed" my power supply the first time, who said he knew what he was doing. In fact he used the wrong sort of diode, so that particular Sam survived for about a year with 27V on the 12V line! That said, my current disk drive, ROM and RAM are all from the original board... and Ian's current keyboard comes from that box as well. The SAM seems quite sturdily built, really, unlike the SAM power supplies which seem to blow up whenever I'm abaout to finish doing something important. I made sure I've got two spares...
