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.
