Folks,
We've had a few catastophic power glitches in recent weeks, which bought
down our AMX2 console and seem to have killed the CPU/4 board.
We had an extra one in a spare console, and swapped that in - and a few
weeks later, another glitch bought that one down.
We now have a UPS (!!duh!!), but no CPU board.
The board seems completely dead. Trying to "ping spect" simply brings the
notice "host is down". Its not even possible to get any monitor display
using the RS232 cable connected to tty0.
I know this is a long shot - but is there, by any chance, anyone who has a
surplus console lying around, or even surplus boards, that they might be
prepared to part with (CPU/4 - ECL03)??
Failing that, does anyone have suggestions for where to pick up a spare??
(Other than the obvious in northern MA!)
Many Thanks,
Ross Mair
