I bought a multia several years back and I think it sucommed to being moved to and from Germany and the States too many times. I had it booting as a satelite off a DEC 3000 just fine, until this last move. I thought the battery had died and replaced it. (dead battery prevents the bios from coming up) I get the SRM console and i'd get MOP load message on the DEC 3000 but the MULTIA just hangs after message about bootstrapping. I heard something about an I/O chip that can go bad on the MB and was wondering if anyone had any ideas that could be used to fix the MULTIA. thanks Mike
