So, I hooked up one of my IIgs' a couple hours ago and started playing with it. I poked around the Startup Disk a bit, made a backup copy, then went immediately into Lode Runner, everything is working fine.

About ten minutes ago I hear a loud POP! Everything is still on... Lode is still running... I flip the power switch on the IIgs. Then smoke starts billowing from the top of the monitor... I hit the power switch, then pulled the plug. After a minute or so the smoke started dying down.

It's been a while since I've had something blow up on me... it pretty much sucks. Good thing I have two more IIgs monitors!
