[DuoList] Newer G3 Issues

[Chuck Kenney]

I tried a replacement power board borrowed from a coworker's bin of spare
2400 parts, and got the same result.  (GLOD with G3, fine with 603e)

I have another motherboard halfway across the country, so I'll try that in
about 6 months when I have the rest of my things brought to me.

Thanks for the help everyone.
