That was my first thought as well... I opened up the supply and found no

1.5.1 install floppy, and got to the sysinst
menu, when I smelled the
ominous presence of escaping magic blue smoke (even though I didn't see
any!).. I powered everything off, let it sit for a few minutes while I
tried to find the source of the non-smoke.
When I powered the 3000 back up, it hung with FD displayed on the LED
display, with no output to the VT320...
Any ideas as to what might be cooked??
My first guess would be that something failed in the power supply, maybe
due to bad caps?
