Your GS stopped working. That sounds somewhat vague. As far as I'm aware
of there isn't any fuses or user servicable parts in the power supply.

Gee I don't know, but I remember when AE was still in business, they were
selling high capacity power supplies for about $80.00US. I don't really
know where you can find one now. Perhaps you can try Quality Computers at
1-800-777-3642.

You can indeed boot over a Macintosh (though not through a ProDOS
partition), but you need AppleShare and I think that costs around
$1500.00US. It would be cheaper to buy a SCSI card and hard drive for
your GS
