Very interesting.

I called SGI Support to see if they were still replacing these, and the
answer I got was "it depends, call your local service center."  The chap I
spoke to indicated that he didn't know of a policy on these unless the
machine was under SGI maintenance, but he made it sound like finding a
sympathetic ear might produce results.

He did give me the part numbers of the old, bad power supplies and the new
replacements:

Old, bad, recalled:	013-0513-002 (1900W on 110 VAC)
New, good:			060-0120-001 (1500W on 110 VAC)

Of course, there may be other part numbers....
