Does it smell sorta like fish?

That's what the Tandy 1400 that I have smelled like when the HD controller
blew.
Although, that thing always fishy.... :)

Yup, it could easily be the remains of a Tantalum cap. Weirdest smell. I
can't believe that the rest of the board could survive something like this
but hey it isn't like the thing is any good as a paper weight! Now to pull
one of the others and figure out what value cap used to live there...
