This machine may need a new main board, or it may be that the power supply has a problem. Its symptoms are that it turns on, but it doesn't clear the screen, or startup the hard disk or floppy drive. It doesn't happen every time, but as the months go on, more and more frequently it won't start up, and finally one begins to look at it as less and less and frequently it functions! Any words of advice, or sources for spare parts? I might be interested in buying another broken one, or trading this one for a 386 clone. BTW, does anyone know if the 40Mb drive in this machine can be used with an IDE hard disk controller, or any other kind of readily available hard disk controller? It would be nice if I could at least use the Conner 40Mb HD in my next machine... Thanks in Advance! -- ;; ***************************************************** ;; * Haydn Huntley huntley@copper.ucs.indiana.edu * ;; *****************************************************
