Steve isn't the only one with virtually no problems. I have a 4.5 rev board. I have a GVP3001 w/80meg Quantum & 8megs ram, a FC24, AMaxII+, Trumpcard Pro w/ 210meg Quantum (that runs REALLY hot). My only problems are: All these cards sucked up the juice, so I got a 300 watt PS. Had a capacitor fail (very difficult to isolate). Occasionally the SCSI drive fails to spin up, so I shut the system down, give the machine a good whallop on the side and then turn it back on. Been doing this for about a year with no secondary problems. I have not replaced any chips and have not been too careful about plugging and unplugging things with power on. It has been (and continues to be the most reliable piece of machinery I've ever owned). OTOH, I also work with a Quadra 950, which I can crash with a blink of my eye. Even with out blinking, I find it to be a cantankerous (sp?) lug that is not fast (due to constant crashing and shutting down after resetting control panel stuff like mode32, Appletalk, etc so that various software will work properly) It is truly a PITA! -Steve
