IBM PC = I've Blown My Power Circuit :-) One of ours has. An AT, to be precise. I've broken into the power supply, and found a blown fuse. The markings on the board say "6A ABC", and those on the fuse say "BUSS ABC 6". The fuse is a 1 1/4" type; it looks like the main body is ceramic. It is white, and has a black ring painted round one end. So, can someone tell me what the "ABC" means? Can I replace it with a standard 6.3A fuse? If so, should it be fast-blow or slow-blow; if not, where can I get a replacement? Thanks in advance. "Keyboard? How quaint!" - M.

I don't know the details, of course, but replacing fuses in a blown switching power supply is usually just a good (if indirect) way to melt metal. An ABC is a slow-blow, by the way. Jeff Winslow
