OK, here are the hardware problems ZBT has currently:
1) The site drive on kingtut periodically and often registers
swap errors, killing various random processes.
2) Our PostScript printer (the ScriptPrinter) seems to no longer print
the rightmost 1/4" or so of the page. This is noticeable on the
test page printed out on powerup.
3) The net connector on minstrel is still bad; as I mentioned before
IAP, it was not fixed when network came by. I think it's completely
dead now. The problem is probably in the white box with the LED's
labeled "ST-500 with Lanview" or the plugs that feed in and out of it.
I say this because previously we noticed that unplugging it and
replugging it in would fix the problem for half an hour or so.
