Any ex-API Networks folks who can answer a question?

    All,

    I am struggling with an API Networks (Samsung) UP2000+ motherboard. It
    is basically alive, but the SRM "show power" command complains that one
    of the 3.3V rails has bad status (the first one on the list). Problem
    is, none of the available documentation sheds light on what that supply
    is powering!

    I suspect that it's the 3.3V PCI bus power, but need a little bit of
    insight from someone that knows the hardware. In the front of the board
    is a 5-terminal Micrel TO-220 regulator on a small vertical heatsink.
    Unlike everything else on the board, it runs ice-cold. The input power
    is 5V and I'm reading about 1.2V on the output terminal. Can someone
    confirm what the intended voltage is?

    Any hints, tips or pointers to knowledgable sources appreciated.

    Steve
