Thanks for the info. Now that I have a better understanding of what's wrong with it, maybe I've got a decent chance of fixing it. > Love these Silent 700s, so keep 'em running! I'm keeping my out for more of them. :-) My main interest in this one was as a representative use of TI bubble memory devices. I don't think TI was terribly successful at getting bubble memory design wins; the only non-TI product I've heard of that used TI bubble memory was a Multibus board, and I've never actually seen it. Intel seemed to get a lot more design wins, though they didn't get into the market until just before TI decided to call it quits.
