That;s the workaround (100 ohm). But, I suspect it just kicks the can down the road a bit.
Cisco had a helluva time with product failures (imagine your fabric not coming back online after a power glitch).
Of course, Intel is slow to admit to such problems (the reason I stopped using them after the 8085)
I think electromigration will be a significant problem going forward. For the commodity market, they'll shrug it off as an excuse to replace kit.
Actually, I decided to re-rescue the box, make the patch and deploy it (with non-precious data). I dug up four 3T SATA drives (most of mine are larger and SAS). This will give me some idea as to how long the device continues to behave (if "a long time", I may consider rescuing other similar items in the future).
I will gift the box to one of my colleagues at our next offsite (with an appropriate back-story lest he rely overly on a box that might s*it the bed at any minute) so I can get some longer-term feedback "for the cost of a PUP".
