Oh, and anyone
know why the PSU fuse in the Apple ][c is soldered in rather
than being in a carrier? I blew my ][c when I forgot it was a US
one.....doh.....I can solder in a replacement fuse but I just thought I'd
ask if there was a reason why it was soldered....if I can get a carrier to
fit I'd rather do that!
Normally when a fuse blows there are other faults -- fuses do not blow
for no good reason. So when the fuse blows you're going to need a
soldering iron anyway to put the other problem right.
Unless you happened to plug a 120v PS into a 220 supply, being the case
here, in which case you can leave the soldering iron in the tool cupboard
and look for your misplaced brain cells ;)
