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.
