After 1 year of light work, my IIgs (1.25meg, 3.5, 5.25) has begun to
stop booting.  I think it's the power supply since it's making oodles
of power supply noises, especially durring disk access (when it does
actually boot).  Or, if it starts to do disk access, the screen will fade
and sometimes the computer will seemingly shut off with the light on the
cpu box going out.  Also, durring the times it won't boot, the light flickers
then remains off.  Once I got an 00FF system error.  Any self checks
(disk based and rom based) turn out fine (if the computer manages not to
shut off).

I've seen people post here about their gs power problems and would like to
hear if they did something OTHER than spend over $150 dollars for a power
supply.  Does anyone know if Sun-Remarketing is reselling them?  I'll have
to pick up a ComputerShopper (magazine) this weekend.  Wish I could buy
the Vulcan or InnerDrive.

Evan
