Riccardo, was it you who needed a Q840 power supply?  I have one from a machine the mobo died on...but the PS is still good.

Yes, it's a sad fact that m68k is dying.  I'd rather see support solidified for what we have at this point than trying to support a couple oddball machines.  What exactly is the issue with 2.x?  Has anyone nailed it down?  I've seen reports of "general flakiness" but sporadically - other people say it works fine.
