Most of the TRS-80's here have started suffering from bit rot, but out
of the 40 or so C= machines I have, only 1 has a problem (fried CIA).

I have two Apple II's - one works, one doesn't - 50% failure rate!
<grin>

In fairness though, I've had more failures with C64 power supplies than
I care to remember - but the 64's themselves have been pretty tough.

cheers,

Lance
