Long story short, licked off the electrical circuit instead - managed to knock out the whole flat. Epic. Fail. Anyway, the rest of my machines have come up except for RHESUS, I need to get into my rack with a serial cable to get it up and am frankly too hung over to deal with this right now :) Sampsa Sounds like the kind of day I had yesterday. The deserver 90TL through which my entire vax/alpha/ia64 collection have their consoles routed has had an intermittent problem which I attributed to a dodgy power cable. Yesterday I bit the bullet and replaced the cable only to have an epic fail myself. Not even a power light. At least when I break decservers they have the courtesy of giving me a power light. Anyway, my spare decserver exhibits random and totally undesirable behaviour, so my collection is effectively offline for the most part until I find a replacement. Anyone got a 90TL or 90M going spare? I've got two 90L+ s and a 90M. I *think* they're spare. To be honest I'm clearing out a lot of old computers (mostly but not all DEC) so if anyone wants them too I'll list them here ;-) Chrissie
