Hmmm.... I've checked the 110 MB. I haven't yet taken the 70 apart to
look at the fuse we worked on. But it seems it looked exactly the same as
a number of other components. White case with silver metal caps on either
end. The 110 MB has dozens of components that look like that. And it
seems the 70 did too, tho' my memory is always pretty bad.
I don't know much about circuit testing. Would any such component that
measures 0 ohms across it be bad? I know some resisters can measure near
zero, yet still are what the circuit calls for.
Will have to take the 70 apart. I now have the original 100 MB running in
the place of the dead 110 MB, and am wondering if clocking it to 233 might
be more stable than when I had it at 266. It was always shutting itself
down at 266 due to overheating. W2K is obviously impossible to run at 166.
