Ah, oops.. so what causes the problem I used to get at lot where a
machine would take longer and longer after applying power before it
would come on?  Is that the C9?  (I thought I remembered it
long-beeping during this time, but I trying to remember 20 years back,
so I'm probably confusing problems together.  I do remember that my
"solution" was not to actually switch them off...)
