Thomas, if you don't, it's quite possible someone with a bit of experience

There's a lot of stuff that's searchable on the 1010 and capacitors. Caps
usually fail visibly, so look for the ones on the lower circuit board that
might look burned or as if they'd leaked.
I've fixed 2 1010s with bad caps so far, so don't give up on the unit just
yet! I'll see if I can't get the photos soon to finish up that writeup, and
the one on connecting 2 1010s together.

I suspect a hardware failure -- I had a delta1010
go out on me several
weeks ago for no apparent reason. Some searches around the net
revealed that these things are susceptible to an onboard component
blowing out (usually a capacitor). The machine it was on dual-booted
to Windows and it also no longer worked there -- all I got was a 60 Hz
hum on both OSes.
That would be most unfortunate :-( I still have a windows installed on this
nachine to and just returned "to an OS" from booting it, and you're right,
it
also doesn't work in windows :-(
