Oh, please, gather a little more reliable information before concluding. Have you ever seen a IIfx with shorted capacitors? Most of the IIfxs were built with tantalums instead of electrolytics. The only IIfxs which have died of capacitor death are the few with electrolytics installed. Tens of thousands of logic boards have died from corrosive goo leaked out of electrolytic capacitors. This is why tantalums are preferred. Jeff Walther -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
