Mark;
 
  Looks like you are my only hope of getting my MM/1 fixed in the near
future.
  My Power Supply started making noises like the fan rubbing on 8/21,
less than 2 weeks after I received it.  I left Paul a note on 8/22
(which he still hasn't read) and finally got through to him on 8/30.
He was going to call me back that afternoon, but never did.  I still
don't know what must be done to resolve the situation.
 
  In desperation, I swapped the PS in this '386 clone that I'm using now
with the MM/1's, and the fan wouldn't even run.  Yes, the outputs are
the same!  Replacing the original PS, even though the fan? runs noisily,
the MM/1 will boot, but the screen is only faintly glowing - no readable
output, but it IS blue.
 
  Q.  Is the MM/1 PS a 'special animal' that requires a very small load?
  Q.  Are there any measurement points on the system board that I can
      check with a VOM?
  Q.  In the event I need to send it in, should I sent the whole setup,
      or just the system board & PS?
  Q.  Why won't this '386 PS work with the MM/1?
  Q.  Where's PAUL???
 
  I'm not *real* happy with my $1000 doorstop at this point!
 
  Thanks,
      ...Jim
