Dan,
the simpliest way is to get onother one.
I have just got an apollo 735 (couldn't resist it
for 9 pound on
ebay). It has 96mb ram, 2 1gb hard drives, a framebuffer with a stereo
+rgb ports and what I think is a 99mhz processor. All is looking good
except it has no power supply. Anyone know where I can get such a
beast. It looks quite big if it fills up the mising hole, the machine
already weighs a ton it must be pretty heavy with it in.
It is real solid state!
These machines are extremely reliable - if permanently powered on! I've
one in my office, just to have a real Unix machine within the Windows
world. It has now an uptime of 1102 days. The problems will arise, if
these machines are powered off, esp. for a longer period of time. From
my considerations the powersupply is damaging the cpu-board, probably
based on voltage-peaks.
