Just wanted to say a big THANKS for all the helpful
suggestions I received for my PB computer.  As it
turned out (when I finally got the nerve to find
someone that would check my old faithful friend) Joe
Lore was right.  My particular PB could take a regular
power supply, they just had to find one that had the
buttons in the right place.  I got the old power
supply back and when I checked it out, the fan would
hardly turn.  This may have been the real problem!
Anyway, Thanks again for the help.
