unplugging all cables to the power supply, turn it off and plug in 
the cables one by one turning it off each time and turn it back on

something in you will know what is blowing the fuse. if it blows when 
no cables are plugged in it is the power supply. I found my SD1 at a 
garage sale with the same system and found that the floppy drive 
cable was pinched against something and blowing the fuse
