I have an original Big Blue IBM Genuine PC, and I noticed the other day that there is a device on the motherboard that resembles a potentiometer. It's right near the power supply connections on the motherboard. Does anybody know what it is/what it controls? Just curious, S.Vasudevan svv@cory.berkeley.edu
