I finally found my Mac DB15-VGA adapter for my 7600, so I set it up, plugged it in, and POP!

WTF?

Oh... I forgot I was in Europe, and that the machine's power supply was still set to 115, and that my UPS runs on 220.

The fuse is rated for 250v, so it didn't blow, and one of the solid state power regulators appears to have released its magic smoke 🙁 .

Looks like I won't be using this thing for a while longer. Now if only I can get my mom to scrounge up one of my spares from my jungle of a storage unit...
