I know someone else in the same situation I'm afraid...and he still doesn't
have a power supply.

I doubt you can repair 'em.  I'm sure you can get one from AT&T, but the price
will probably make you want to go out and just buy another 3B1 for parts!

Now a neat idea -- has anyone tried using an IBM Clone (XT or AT) power supply
on a 3B1.  Theoretically, it would work, but you couldn't fit it inside the
cabinet.  If you don't mind having a power supply next to your 3B1, pick
up a PC supply for $60, and hook it up (if you know what wires go where,
of course).

Disclaimer:  I take no responsibility for anyone frying their motherboards
or any other electronic component with a clone supply  ;-)
