than my '78 Dodge? :-) Those are likely to be 32V automotive
fuses, and not the 250V variety, though I doubt that'll make much
difference.
Yes, it's a '72 Dodge.
Good brand. 318?
No clue, it's runs and has 8 cylinders. :^) I have a shade-tree
mechanic that worries about the details. :^)
Since
it's for a 9V power line, like you say 32V vs. 250V probably won't
matter much.
Nope.
But I think I'll try Rat Shack first. If
I'd been thinking I probably could
have raided my PDP-11 for a fuse last night.
The auto parts store probably won't have much in the smaller sizes anyhow.
The 250V 1.5A Fast Blow fuse did the trick, and the computer appears
to be working again. Didn't really have time to play with it last
night, other than to get it working and play a game of Missile
Command.
I do not like the new fuse packaging. I like the old fashioned little boxes.
