OK, thanks.  I know that it's not fast.  :-)

I don't have a "NoName" box.  I bought the AXPpci33 mainboard
+ 21066-166 and put it into a standard AT midi tower.  Spent
$50 for the thing...  Yes, I know, it's not worth that much,
but I just wanted to play around with AXP stuff.

A few days ago, it suddenly performed a spontaneous shutdown
and played dead.  The fuse in the power supply is OK, but even
the light in the power switch (which is on the primary side of
the transformer) is off.  Strange.

Well, I'll probably try to get a cheap used power supply for
this box.

Regards
   Oliver
