Thanks for the details. I too was losing internet connectivity
intermittently, but hadn't suspected the PSU until the disc errors
started, when I applied my DVM to the 12V supply. I didn't actually
check the 5V as well.
CJE Micro's have supplied me with a new HEC PSU for £43 which I have
installed, and things seem much improved. The measured 12V supply now
sits at 12.30!
