- The power supplies that came with the 1764s were also very nice. I'm not sure
- if they are rated the same as the 128 P.S.s, but they look the same and are all
- ready to plug in. There are several repairable P.S.s sold for the 64, but I'm
- not familiar with which are good and which are not, so would not want to make a
- recommendation. Yep, the 128 power supply was well designed, as was the 128
- itself, as was the 1581. Too bad they quit making all that stuff. Mark.....
