> Damage in transit, was the packaging damaged?
There is some crushing to the outer box, but nothing that would concern me.
The sender packed it extremely well, in a box using a lot of foam
internally. The plug ripped through the foam inside the box, and you can see
when one pin has punctured the box. Emailed the guy I bought it from,
waiting for reply; will check with post office at lunch time.

When I wired the machine to my disk drive, I could hear a few bits rattling
inside the case, have not opened it yet to find out. Looked such a nice
machine, real shame to see it get broken like this. Hopefully the co-pro and
scsi boards are ok, and I can rebuild it donating my standard master. Would
like to know why the power supply is getting hot before I start that.

Regards,
Paul.
