A close call for my TEST BOX!

A close call for my TEST BOX!

What is that Smell!
My whole room was full of smoke. I had just put in a new powersupply and had turned it on but.... the fans were spinning slow? Then I saw the floppy drive power cable and quickly unpluged the Power to the PC!

Praise the Lord! My test box is working alright! I think the connector for the power cable to the floppy drive is what cause it.

5 or 12 volts at the amperage the lines run at are unlikely to cause that.
