[CUBE] Sonnet Encore processor upgrade

[Andra and Reid]

I believe that I have to do some back peddling here.

I didn't believe you when you told me the story of the man in Nagoya.  
I too have had the power problem recently.  However, the system would 
start up and run 9.2.  Unfortunatley today, while still trying to run 
X, the dc dc board "popped".

I have no logical explanation as to why it happened.

Both OWC and Sonnet know that I ordered an upgrade for my cube in 
Japan.  I don't believe that they wouldn't know about international 
power concerns.


At this point, I don't know what my next step is.
