That's some good info waynestewart.

"This is very complicated. You're probably going to ruin your logic board."
That one made me laugh the most. You were just talking about a motherboard swap, right? If so that's only maybe true if you take breaks to shuffle around the carpet in your socks a few times while doing it. :scrambled: :o)

The built for OS 9 thing has a few holes...if the other board supports 9, it was built for it. I hate to think what their reply to installing Linux may have been! Never having heard of it is just too easy to make fun of so I'll just pass on it.

I think the replacement board should be just the ticket. You said you planned on stocking spare parts, so a few power supplies should keep you running for a long time I'd think. I know people who have been running them for a long time with no issue. I wouldn't be surprised if someone here has a genius solution to fixing or replacing them with another PSU!
