I had to read that a second time. I thought you had missed the '475' on the end of LC. I did not know they even made that upgrade. I wish we had that back when our family had an…

Would you be interested in organizing a deal for the Transwarp since we live …
The II, IIx, and IIfx should all be able to take the same power supply. One test to see if the power supply is working or if it is a problem with the batteries or caps or whatnot …
