Right. I was going by the date codes on the ICs, etc. Makes sense it 
could be earlier.

They should have come across SMPSUs by then, though ;-). The 5V
linear regulator has 7 TIP3055 transistors in parallel (with equalising 
resistors) and another TIP3055 to drive them. Based on the voltages
around there it is only about 30% efficient.

disk controller...) so figuring it out, at least the bit I think I need to 
figure out, will not take too long.
