9/4/06 - Another quick update:

Sorry for the lack of pics and updates lately. Been fighting an abscesed tooth and a stomach virus. The good news is, I was also able to get my MPI to run from DC from the ATX power supply without frying it (yea me!!!).

On a side note, it looks as if I'm getting a Model IV, in a Model III silver case, that has power supply problems. The original owner says the monitor PS is bad. I didn't know until I go to doing a little research, but, the monitor in those is a 12vdc monitor. I've never owned a Model III/IV before and am looking forward to trying to get it to run from an ATX power supply also and actually working with one. I figure a 200-250w Mini-ATX should do the trick.

I've got to prioritize here, so the CoCoIII repack comes first, then I'll get to work on the Model IV.

As soon as I remember to bring the digital camera home from work, I'll get som pics of the mods to the CoCoIII mobo and MPI to show the mods I made to get them to run from the ATX, as well as a pic of it playing Tetris... Now, I've got to order Roy's VGA adapter to get everthing running...
