[Coco] Assistance please

[Bill]

I hope this isn't going too OT, but I've received a lot of help from my Coco
brothers. Now the power supply has given out, and I think that was the
original problem. Even after completely disassembling the CPU fan and
blowing it out, replacing the thermal grease, and upgrading the memory. Does
anyone have a power supply for an old HP Presario 6540C?

Thanks

One other note about some of the older motherboards, the internal bias
software may or may 
not support very large drives say over 160GB or so. Unless the bias has been
updated some 
will not support some of the real big drives like 500G to 2TB drives. 

Actually to just surf the net and do email, word processing and the likes
and PIII or PIV is still 
a viable machine. I would even say that running some of the COCO emulators
will still be 
successful. 

IF it gets you on the net then and on this group it is probably godd enough
til times get better
