Last night the ``right-angle'' cable harness between the power supply and backplane in my BA23 MicroVAX II went up in a cloud of smoke (and a hearty Hi Ho Silver Away!). The ``left-'' or ``top-'' most five lines (5V) and pins 8-10 (COM) got hot enough to melt the phenolic plastic connectors right to the pins. Owch! Anyone had experience with this scene from Batman the movie? What are the likely candidates for the failure? What ``collateral damage'' can I expect? Email (and condolences :-) please to mms7r@virginia.edu -- Mitch
