Remembering that jeff had hacked up a pc power supply to work in a s900, and that kennedy had hosted the fruit of his labors, it was off to supermac insider at :
http://home.earthlink.net/~supermac_insider/
There I located the secret recipe, and wire cutters and new 350 watt pc power supply in hand the fun began. That's a lot of wires to splice together - one look and my wife declared me insane. But never let spousal judgement deter the avid supermacker from the task at hand.
The pc power supply has a switch, and upon turning it on the old s900 roared to life - success! Almost. It seems that the power control lead from my original s900 had different color wires then the ones in jeff's document (red-purple-black as opposed to brown-purple-black). A quick power down and the switching of the two end leads, and walllah!, back to keyboard/software power on and off. The ancient beast lives on - now with enough power for the four scsi drives in it....
Thank you for your experience and willingness to share it guys,
tom
