Jim,

  Q.  Is the MM/1 PS a 'special animal' that requires a very small load?

No, not really.  A new PS from some of the catalogs goes for around $80.

  Q.  Are there any measurement points on the system board that I can
      check with a VOM?

Pin 1 on the backplane is ground, pins 61 and 62 or 5 volts and 63 and 64 12
volts.  You should get these readings there.

  Q.  In the event I need to send it in, should I sent the whole setup,
      or just the system board & PS?

Well, if you can't find Paul, the best thing to do would get a new PS and then
get Paul to repay you for it since it is under warrenty.  Any store that sells
PC parts and supplies will be able to help you if you bring the old PS in with
you.

If the MM/1 still doesn't work after that, then send it to me by itself.

  Q.  Why won't this '386 PS work with the MM/1?

Probably not enough current draw to get it going. The MM/1 is a very very low
draw machine.

  Q.  Where's PAUL???

Don't feel bad about not getting Paul.  I haven't been able to talk to him in a
couple weeks now (grin).  He is very very busy.

Mark
