I have an 1000....
For nearly three years its given me yeoman service which is quite
a nice thing to get from something that nearly drove you
into bankruptcy at the time... :-)

However, last week, it wouldn't power up.

System:
A1000, Comspec SA1000 SCSI Controller, Micron dual slot Cage with 2 meg
ram card.

For over 6 months the above had run quite nicely, with
only the occasional power down for business trips...
(usually I'd leave it powered up all the time)
I powered things up on Friday, and no dice. With both devices attached
the system didn't fire up. After I removed the cage, the
system came up fine, (well, until the hard drives startup
sequence attempted to fire up my usual 700K of applications ( into 512K) )
The 2 meg card is functional, but the system doesnt work with the cage
online...

I grounded the pals.  No dice.

Local dealer thinks that one of the 8520's might have gotten shot,
and is getting pulled down by the extra load of the
cage... Possible????

I suspect that its give up the ghost time for this baby,
I'd rather not, but if anyone can give me any ideas, I'd truely
appreciate it...

Thanks....
