Hi Netters,
	I have recently acquired a 286 compatible without any 
doccumentation whatsoever. The brand is 'Miata'. While installing,
it was powered on by mistake with the voltage selector at 230v position.
The power supply has gone dead and a friend estimated that it might
take about $40 to  $50 worth of components to repair it. Can someone 
suggest if it would be better to try to repair it or go for a new 
power supply. Recently, someone posted that a PS may be available for 
about $40. The power supply in my PC is a 'Senstron' make. If someone is 
familiar with any sources for the said brand of PC or power supply,
please mail me a list.I have checked some mail order sources from mags, but I
can't be sure if the power supply provided by them will fit my PC (at
least electrically). I will apreciate your suggestions.
