I'm going to start by adding a couple of electrolytic caps to the LittlePower and perhaps ceramic bypass as well. I think PC motherboards have better on-board decoupling than the IIgs and are probably more tolerant.
Steve,there are two things that go wrong with the electrolytic caps with time: they loose capacitance and become leaky. Not always in terms of the liquid spilling out, but in terms of starting to conduct unwanted current. A cap in parallel won't cure that. My advice: bite the bullet and replace all the electrolytics.
