It has to be an "oop" partition not the old "ack" one (bill the cat
lives on at gadgets 8-).  

I also have problem, and haven't been able to raise gadgets (via the
compuserve gateway).  I figure these are trying times for D. Small and
Co., so I'll ask it here.  My ancient 520 has a mouse and keyboard
problem under Spectre - the machine just loses the mouse unpredicably
(no response on the screen) after a while, and of course, the keyboard
is dead too.  I have the GCR box and 2 more Megs of memory plugged in,
so I figure the voltage to the keyboard could be low (haven't checked
yet) or I could have a flakey IKBD processor.  Anybody have any other
guesses, possible fixes and/or experiences to relate?  I don't want to
buy a new keyboard processor only to find that my problem is elsewhere.

If I have to replace my dinky external power supply (PS or PSU for the
abbreviation inclined 8-), what's best?  I have just gotten a new
shoebox w/power for the disk drive, so don't suggest a PC case 8-).
On the other hand, info on U.S. legal and well designed replacement
cases (available in the U.S.A.) would be interesting.  Remember, I *do
not have an STFM* the power supply is external.
