Les,
The R-390 list/crowd has been living this issue for numerous years.
We've essentially gone to isolation transformers - OR - using the
computer power supply sockets AND circuitry for ways of getting by this
issue.
Running a "separate" circuit that is NOT GFCI protected may VERY well
kill your insurance coverage in the event of a fire!

Use a 3 wire to 2 wire adapter plug at the wall? (I would prefer to keep it a 3-wire line.) Eliminate the GFI on that wall socket? Anyone been down this road before?
