DIC issue fried alternator?

Well it appears I'm joining the DIC failure club... 00' 9-5SE Wagon.
Service manager says that at least one maybe both DIC's are out and that it probably fried the alternator in the process. I was doing about 85 when it happened. I felt the car shutter and then she won't give me any responce when pressing on the gas. I was actually headed to the dealer when it went because it had been acting funny for a few days... not turning over sharply, lag when driving and hick-ups followed by stalls in idle.
The whole thing is looking quite costly. There has been a lot of bad DIC talk on the board, I'm curious what is the latest news on this? Is it something Saab is going to deal with eventually... like the blessed SID? What exactly does the DIC do and is it possible that I fried the alternator when one or both of the cassettes went bad?
Anything else that it could possible be? Do my symptoms reflect a bad DIC?
UGH!
