Face it Tony, we're not all wizards like you. :-(  Though given the 
necessary parts, I could fix the one in my VAXstation 4000/vlc 
(fans).  The PSU in the XP1000 and the way that machine is acting has 
me more than a little concerned, I'm afraid it might have taken 
something with it.  I discovered the problem on Monday, and haven't 
had time to take a serious look at it.  Though as long as the CPU 
board, and the SCSI boards in it are fine, I should be okay.  My 
other XP1000 is only a 500Mhz, so I'd prefer not to loose the 667Mhz 
CPU.
