Re: [vox] Replacement Power Supply Suggestions

The other processor is my roommate's old one, he's never had any problems
with it.  The machine runs fine on one CPU, still has the error in voltage
but only about .3V instead of a full 1V.  I'll probably borrow Geoff's PS
and hope that's the problem.  Thanks

Patrick
