Here is why I ask it: My Compaq portable is stuffed. I have an after-market 10 MB Winchester and controller, an internal modem, and a clock/ram/serial port. Result: the picture on my screen wiggles (in normal text mode only). Since I can reduce the wiggle by removing most of the extras, I believe that the power supply is at fault. By the way, I welcome arguments supporting an alternate diagnosis. I will summarize all replies to the net. -- Gene E. Bloch (...!nsc!voder!gino) The accidents expressed above are opinions.
