YIKES! Good luck man. I've got some of those PSU's out to be looked at and they are pretty special. Let me know what you can do with a swap as I might need that here at some point.

Good finding - no, I'd match the fuse with same.  Note there is a green LED on the underside of the sub that'll tell you if powered

The difference between 74min/650MB media and 80min/700MB media is the track spacing. The latter is slightly tighter, but still within CD player standards. I have drives from the la…

By the way, the power supply is not auto-switching. Maybe I missed where you said you checked it, but if not check it. edit: There should be 5v standby power from the supply I wou…

Doesn't need a PRAM battery to work/start. You can just press the power button on the back of the unit OR on the keyboard.  There is a CUDA reset button on the board you should pr…
