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.
