The cover shows 80VAC max. which would be (80 * 1.4 =) 112VDC max. and
shows 110VDC max on the cover.

I took the cover off to see inside. I need to take some close up
pictures to document the various bits.

I looked for a fuse but didn't find one, although giving it more thought
a fuse these days might look like a SMT resistor. I'll have to look closer.

There was some chatter on the CNCzone/Tormach forum recently about
unplugging a fourth axis and killing the driver. Some people said they
do it all the time, which sees hard to believe. It came to mind that it
would be nice to have the connector latch interlocked with the drive
power so the drive is turned off well before the connector breaks output
contact.
