I appreciate the above, and I *have* encountered it elsewhere,
but in this case it's a matter of the card going form
intermittent to not at all - and there *was* an electrical storm
round about the time it transferred state.
I need a replacement relay and transformer but don't know where
to get either, hence the appeal for help. It might just go into
an old 386 8 bit slot if I can get it working - but it doesn't
deserve to have much spent on it.
