Yesterday we had a thunderstorm which sent a spike along to my UPS which was more than it could handle - as a result my trust PowerCenter motherboard fried.
It was about all that was left of the original machine, apart from the case, but over the years I had upgarded it until it worked as my office server running Jaguar, on a G3 card, witha 60GB IDE drive, Firewire RAID copy, and internal DVD. Now I am left with all the upgrade bits, and Nil hope of ever finding a repalcement card in France where I live. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find a reasonably priced motherboard (which will be cheaper to ship here than a whole machine)? BTW, just in case, i tried all the recent tips about re-setting the motherboard, etc, including re-seating the daughterboard etc. It has truly fried - complete with the dreaded acrid burnt component smell. I can't help feeling sad - I bought it back in 1996, and the old thing has been through hell and back with me...and was still useful and running the latest OS - its last service was an installer dump onto CD using a SCSI CD-re-writer...SNIF!
