Not ALL the SMD capacitors, perhaps all SMD electrolytic capacitors. Non electrolytic caps are very stable and rarely fail (unless you go far enough back to the age of paper caps. > -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
