Before using them, I tested       the power supplies.       One worked fine. The other was certainly bad.              It's definitely hit and miss on the power supplies. But "real" C-64s are only       getting more and more rare and I'd hate       to see one die because of a poor power supply.                     ... If you can't make it good, make it expensive.       === MultiMail/Linux v0.52       --- SBBSecho 3.11-Win32        * Origin: Diamond Mine Online BBS - bbs.dmine.net:24 (1:275/89)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 19/36 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/18 120/331       SEEN-BY: 120/340 123/131 140 124/5016 128/2 129/305 153/7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 218/700 221/0 222/2 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 664 981 1016 1017 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/1       SEEN-BY: 249/110 206 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/0       SEEN-BY: 275/89 91 93 95 97 98 99 100 101 201 301 280/464 5003 282/1056       SEEN-BY: 288/100 291/100 111 292/854 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/620 848 770/1 801/161 189 2320/105 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 5020/1042 5053/58       PATH: 275/89 100 261/38 712/848 280/464 229/101 426           |
