   Something else must be blown in there because It's Dead, Jim. I just tried   
   turning it on to see if I could still run it and nothing. I'm not very good at   
   soldering, that was what the 'turn a hammer or swing a wrench' was meant to   
   imply. Besides I haven't    
   done any soldering in over 50 years. So I guess my best bet is to eventually   
   get the Universal Power Supply Kit from Reactive Micro. In the meantime I   
   guess I'll use KEGS to run GS software on my Mac. Unless there is some   
   infitesimally small chance that    
   Sheppy, or someone else, can update Sweet 16. That is by far my favorite GS   
   emulator. And, of course, there is Virtual II to run all my standard Apple II   
   software. Unless I dfig out the IIc+ with the FloppyEMU.
