That’s pretty much what I suspected.  In this case though, it was preferable to 
migrate to a VM running on my VMware cluster.  The RPi2 will likely be 
repurposed for SIMH or something else.  It looks like both my RPi3’s survived 
the experience (DPS-8 and KLH10), and I want to get them moved into one of my 
racks (right now they’re in a rather precarious place on the floor).  Oddly 
enough, I’ve been considering a UPS for the Raspberry Pi’s.
