Well I got some mail on this from Stuart Rowland at AT&T Bell Labs and
he said, " I had the same problem with my UNIXpc.  The repair guys told
me that when power was restored, the fan did not start.  After a few
hours without cooling, the power supply blew itself out.  You need to
replace the power supply.  The contents of your disk should be OK.
Sorry for the bad news." Bad news hell no. That was great news and
correct though I thought at first the disk had been blown too. It was a
grounding problem in my test setup. I don't think the fan didn't restart
but it was just a power supply.
