Hi!

Got some spare fuses now, and I'm set for the next adventure, but I have
another question: in my G6, there is no cable going to the +5V connector in
the middle of the bus board. Does that mean that the 5V adapter doesn't
have a source for its 5 volts, or is it supposed to be that way? Didn't
check the G3 yet.

I have an "old" G6, which apparently delivers 650 mA's, so I may need to
get the calculator and module documentation. But it is nowhere near full,
so I hope that was not the problem. Still, would it fry if the modules draw
more than it can deliver?

Cheers,

Kim
