OK I should probably clarify that it doesn't blink an 888, but that's the
last thing it displays before the box goes belly-up, with belly-up being
defined as completely powering off and the power light going out as well.
I've been rather busy since I first posted this so I haven't had a chance
to follow the advice of disconnecting all of the hard drives. I fear,
however, that the ps in this beast is toast. Anybody out there got a
spare?
