Good.  I remember that one was on and one was off (whatever
the default setting is).  I'll try setting both to 'off'.
Unfortunately, the system is at home and I'm at work so
I'll have to wait until this evening to try.

I hope so.  I'm assuming that I wouldn't see anything if
the CPU was bad.  I'd spring for an OBP chip but replacing the CPU module would cost more than another used system.

Thanks for your help.
