I've just moved into a new house, so now it's time to setup the retro computer museum now I have space for stuff that's been in storage.
I have an 5Mb profile drive that I'd like to fire up, I seem to remember that if the power supply has bad caps this tends to also take out the analog board.
So is there a recommended order for bringing Profiles back into use after storage? i.e. should I disconnect the PSU portion of the profile, put some load on and try powering up the PSU?
Thoughts? I do have a scope,good quality soldering iron, multi meter and a fancy measuring thing for capacitors/inductors etc so replacing the capacitors is an option.
