It's been up for several hours now with no issues, and my network still works :)

Yay!

Hope for you it won't act up again and behave like a good little boy.

Doh, I'm a dimbo!!

The A5000 was booting from the IDE drive, not SCSI and it's taken me 5 days to realise!!!

It's not a hard thing to fix in all honesty, it's just a case of setting the default filesystem to be SCSI, but I think I've forgotten more than I've learned about this machine.

Not a big deal at all.

Annoyingly Moonfish & Sunfish are asking for some packages that I'd already installed, so I think my last backup might have been missing some changes :(

I'll have to sort that out again, but otherwise it's been running for days just fine now :)

I do wonder if the latch ICs just failed or if it is the remainder of the battery corrosion, though to be fair there isn't any visible.
