VECTOR: Maybe I'm not as dumb as I thought . . .

Or at least differently.

Bob Roberts just told me he didn't have any AR II 02's left, only 01s, 4s,
and 6s. So I start looking at the differences.

04 is missing the +12 and -5 voltages.

Major Havoc uses an 04.

I put the AR II from my Major Havoc in my SW, and it went poof.

Looking at the wire lengths, I don't think I could have swapped J6 amd J9 --
the wires aren't long enough. However, without +12 and -5 volts, I'll bet
the board drew more current on the +5, enough to fry the AR II.

And hopefully, not do much damage to the SW itself !

Well, I can dream, can't I ?
