Remember that the 1750 requires a very LARGE amount of power to run that 512K of RAM. A normal 64 power supply can't handle it. If you are using a 128, the power supply SHOULD be able to handle it, but there's always the possibility of a bad power supply. There's a related question. Has anyone ever seen a 128 power supply go bad? 64 supplies are notorious for going bad if you just look at them funny, but I've never heard of a 128 supply going out. -- begin 644 .signature G5&AI
