Now I know what it feels like to be computerless!
Fit new PSU and HD (replacements for old but working models, bigger & better)
Blasted PSU was faulty, and too late to sort it out - could have put the old one back but the miserable layout is such a swine to get the system box out of (since it also participates as a shelving support for the scanner, thanks to the wretchedly short SCSI cable that denies any sensible placement!)
So, that was the rest of the day gone, plus most of today fitting and copying the drive .... several dropped screws, and cables that wouldn't come off if they were on, or go on if they were off - oh yes , and the hard disk hanger with NO support while you put the screws in ... that little bit of fun wasted mosat of today.
I'm in a pretty foul mood!
