Hi netters, I have an old excotic Apple II. But lately it takes it several minutes to power up. I turn on the power switch but this lazy machine just sits there and does nothing for several minutes. Finally it decides to power up and the screen shows strange stuff. The keyboard is mostly dead then. I turn it off and right back on. It comes up and everything seems alright. So, what's going on here? Is the powersupply just about dying? Or what? Is there an easy way of testing for that (I have a voltmeter so I guess I could try to check the powersupply output plug). Anyhow, any help would be appreciated. If it is the power supply - does anyone have an old apple II they want to sell, - or even just a powersupply (since that is probably all I need). Thanks.\ Palle@jessica.stanford.edu
