" on a frustrating note, the gx110 the 256s were intended for has
" stopped working.  it's not completely dead; the fans come on [but
" don't immediately shut down like before] and the front panel disk and
" power leds are on, but it's unresponsive to the front panel buttons -
" and the power led should be on only when the system is booted.  i'm
" mystified as to what it's actually doing and not doing, at a detail
" level.  this semi-activation keeps teasing me into thinking it should
" be fixable...
" 
" anyone have ideas?  on the likelihood i'd cracked the cpu while
" peeking at the heatsink i replaced it with a guaranteed-not-doa
" 1000/133/256 cpu from ebay [a coppermine like the original], but no
" change.  

progress: found a loose 14.13MHz xtal and resoldered it and now it
responds to the power button normally; leds come on, hd and cdrom leds
blink, and fans spin up, so at least the watchdog chip is working now.
still no video or sign of life from the cpu, wither the original or my
ebay one.
