Yeah, that's too high. I've got one with floppy/harddrive config and I
saw one the other day at a thrift store with the dual floppy config. I'm
going to get that one to use for parts since the one I have seems to have
a flaky power supply or something. When it's booting up the screen keeps
rolling and the system seems to keep resetting itself. It finally boots
after a while but the process is long and painful.

I think you got the one that I kept passing up and was planning to get
the next time I got around to either Foothill or Las Positas. Damn!
