    at the level of stupidity I'm capable of. I had been soldering a circuit board and before putting chips in place I hooked up power supply and got weird results, so I started tracking problem only to find out I had reversed leads on power supply. Duh Have spent many hours residing our house and I'm exhausted. Replacing vinyl siding with Hardi Plank...big job but it's the last of the large house projects. Thank god!

      Looking at the title, I was almost certain it had to do with gasoline :)

        Is it possible to put a full wave bridge on it? Polarity be damned! :)

          Many ways to insure correct polarity, the main one being opening my eyes and paying attention to what the hell I'm doing. :)

              Thanks, it's a Z80 CP/M board. I think I bought it on ebay, not sure, CRS kicking in a lot lately! Been getting into Retro a lot lately, especially Z80 chips.
