[SPARCbook] Sparcbook 3GX drive or info needed

[Justin H Haynes]

Please do let us know if you succeed at the power pack rebuild.  I haven't heard of a success or failure, but I did send one of mine away and that service failed.  I can forward that email chain to you or anyone interested off list, just let me know.
