For those of you who have email/news account on the ukrm.co.uk
server, you might notice a slow down in performance over the next
week or so (and no access from 5am today until now-ish)
Apologies but the machine locked up converting my MP3s 
And after further inspection it needs some TLC [1] for which I've
ordered the parts for. When these bits arrive it'll be down for the
whole day [2]. Or longer (3~4 days) if the repair doesn't work [3]
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
frag
[1] Umpteen capacitors on the motherboard are faulty having dried
out. (Abit BP6)
[2] Requires stripping the whole machine completely, removing
mobo, removal of faulty bits, cleaning it up, soldering new ones in,
re-assembling and crossing fingers...
[3] Last resort is ordering new mobo, CPU & memory. |

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Dr Ivan D. Reid"

My network switch had a dud capacitor, I replaced it and now it's as

I think that the same thing has happened to my Compaq Q vision monitor.
It was the only one I had that would work with my Playstation2. :/

According to the link I posted it started 2-3 years ago, but
obviously its origins go back a little bit further.

Thanks for the info.
Come to think of it, for the price it would cost me to sort it + replace
the knackered ide disk drive in it, I could pick up a good Sparc Ultra
base unit off fleabay.
