I had a bunch of things to try last night, thanks to all... unfortunately 
my Ultra2's power supply appears to have decided to fail repeatedly. 
Previously it might reset itself sporadically - just randomly when you 
were in the middle of something. I'd assumed a power supply rail voltage 
instability.

As of last night it bounces every few minutes, so I can't even boot the 
system anymore. :/

Anyone know of any standard failure modes of the U2 power supply? Anyone 
got a spare?

Thanks to all, again;
