actually, I ran into issues with the Mac's power supply. sometimes it would just not start.
but, in trying to diagnose it, I made a stupid move and blew some components. so, while I'm waiting for replacements, well... I'm sitting around on my ass.
I've had enough trouble with this power supply. in the meantime I did a bigger hunt for cap gunk and cleaned up more of it, I think I got it all. if replacing the blown parts doesn't do the trick, I will just fit another power supply in there and call it a day.
I got all the other things I was waiting for (scsi2sd, VRAM upgrade, ...), so I can't wait to play around with all that.
this might be happening after Christmas, seeing as I'm going to visit my parents for Christmas. haven't yet decided on a date, I have to see how other thinsg are going to work out.
heh.
