Could you possibly tell us netlanders how to fix a power supply? I know that you yourself have gone through several. It all started about 3 months ago when I flipped the switch on and nothing but garbage appeared on the screen. Eventually, the power supply would warm up enough to run my one disk drive for a few minutes; but after that few minutes the 12v output dropped too low to run the spindle and stepper motors simultaneously. Now it takes about 6 hours befor the computer has enough power to generate a fully synchronized video signal. Is there anything I can do about this other than shelling out the $45 for a power supply exchange? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jay McGinnis ...!ctvax!uokvax!uok!chumphre P.S. The first part of this message is jokingly facetious. Also, are you still using that same old Apple II ??
