Recently I had the rather entertaining experience of watching my mac go up in smoke...the right side of the picture scrunched up while the left side stretched. I watched in morbid fascination as it went further and further until, with a nice pop, smoke came pouring out the top. Smelled kind of like burnt popcorn. Now, presumably this is a known failure mode (by now I guess they all are), so does anybody know what needs fixing? I'd rather switch in a new part than send it off for costly repair. On a similar subject, does anybody have information regarding plans for putting your mac motherboard in a new case with a nice hefty, reliable power supply and external monitor? Does anybody sell kits? This is my second power supply to go and I'd rather not lose another... And, lastly (for a complete shot in the dark), does anybody out there have a driver for an Apple /// serial card? I'll trade you parallel drivers... Thanks for any and all help....
