Yes folks, my little apple is happy again after I replaced the blown fuse with a new carrier (in case of accidents) and a new fuse. Of course, she's kicking out a 60hz video signal so I can't really use the display, but I did get a 'no boot disk found on line' prompt with no obvious burning smell. And the floppy drive mechanism works too - must've been Apple's first dalliance with mechanised eject, er, mechanisms. Lisa and HP monitor tonight so cross your fingers :) cheers -- Adrian Graham MCSE/ASE/MCP C CAT Limited http://www.ccat.co.uk (work) http://www.snakebiteandblack.co.uk (home) http://www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk (80's computer collection) "In the pub already" - Mark Radcliffe
