   Hi Wolfgang   
      
   There it is topping the list - in the previous configuration.   
   Later that year I'd altered it to 1 RAID-2 and 2 RAID-5 arrays, dropping   
   the spare drive. The latter two arrays are with 5 x 4.5GB drives.

   It is running on the single supply - I once had the secondary installed   
   as well, but it adds another noisy fan and choked occasionally. While it   
   was not really needed power-wise I removed it. The drives are mostly   
   68-pin DCHS IIRC. Not too noisy compared with the DCRS or faster DGHS.

   Wonder if it would power up at all. I guess the CMOS battery has gone   
   south for long - and probably damaged the board. And there were these   
   dreaded SMD caps "en masse". Ooof !
