  Well,  First Off, I would like to thank all of you who sent me info on 
downloading and such, and who told me where to get a kermit.

  For those who don't know the loacation of one, there is a nice one at
maxwell.physics.purdue.edu, Kermit 2.2, I believe, which has the
nicest screen driver for the C128 or C64 I've seen, period....

   BUT, that is besides the point because, After spending 3 hours playing
with the various download commands on my UNIX, I turned my computer on 
yesterday to see....

  MY #$%#@%$#%  POWERSUPPLY BURNED OUT!!!!!


 Considering this is three weeks after I got it back from an...Accident, I am    not pleased, less so to find that the Place I went to is gonna charge me
 $85 to replace it....

  Question 1:  IS it possible to replace the 9V transformer?

  Question 2:  If not, does ANYONE know of a place that could supply me with a
replacement powersupply cheaper?  And, folks, lemme tell ya, the Commodore
trademark is NOT a neccesity...


  ------> Great chance to unload an old supply to a broken computer!  :>  <----


     Mark....whose days of owning a c128 are about to end...:<
