Right, I've now multimetered the voltages, and:
The 12v line is running at 12.74v
The 5v line is running at 5.40v
A little high in both cases.
I didn't check the -13v line
I took readings from a couple places: Straight off the PSU plug, and in the
case of the 12v, at the monitor plug.
I wasn't sure about the 5v; I took a reading across each of the 8132 chips,
getting 4.14v and 4.16v; but I guess those may not be meaningful as the
chip itself will be taking some of that power.
8132 chips?
That's *definitely* too low, if it's supposed to be +5V. Enough to cause the
logic to act quite strangely...
