we're wanting to keep moving on this.

Probably a dumb question, but have you tried prying out the card
connectors a tad? It might be that you just crushed or
collapsed them a bit.

Do they come with a fire extinguisher? If so, sure - grab one.

:DTom, check the "For sale" section of the NG, since someone JUST
posted a bunch'o' Paris gear for sale, including MEC's - if
that doesn't work out for you I have ONE I can lend you, not
for sale, but can lend it to

Aaron,
Thanks, I won't know about the modules until some new Mecs get delivered =
here.
I think I have the four I need almost on their way from multiple =
sources.

It looks like a chip in the master section of the scsi scorched mec got =
hit bad. We're
looking for the chip now. The other mecs may have less of a problem. =
Maybe some DC=20
down the WC line? Just a guess. Everything was AC grounded and no =
polarity shift.

We learned there's all kinds of protection fuses in line on the master =
section. It seems 'they' weren't
fried but the expensive stuff right after them was. . .

I'll also toss out an edumacated guess that only the interface portion =
got fried and all your MEC cards are likely to be ok... holla back on =

Sorry, no spare MEC's around here, in fact I'm going to be growing my =

Say Tom, have you called The Soniq about repairing yours... he offers =

Most absolutely hardware. 3 Mecs down for the count.
No word on the 10 modules that were onboard during
the mishap.
