[comp.sys.misc] Fortune hardware problems

meo@stiatl.UUCP (Miles O'Neal) (04/13/90)

I have a dead Fortune 32:16. It froze up; when I rebooted,
it hung up. Since then, reboots get really neat garbage on the
monitor - simple, brain-dead checkerboard patterns that don't
stay static. ye olde character block graphics. It is not the
video board - it seems to be either the power supply or the
mother board, but I have no hardware info (schematics, etc.).

I would love to get ahold of some schematics & other hardware information.

But if you know what this is, I'll take any help I can get!

We have a local Fortune distributor, but their prices seem to be
related to back when a Fortune was worth the $20-40K they were charging
before they sold out to SCI (I've no idea what prices are now).
