	yes, there does exist an ADB fuse except it is soldered on to the
motherbord.  It is located near the ports and it is a little green part.  There
is another one on the board near the scsi port.
As I recall, the value is a 2.5 amp and replacement fuses can be purchased at
most electronic shops.  If you decide to replace the fuse, you had better to
a real good job or if someday, you have to swap the board, your apple dealer
may not accept it.  My suggestion is to purchase the fuse, solder some small
clips to the ends, and clip the fuse to the old one.  CAUTION.  Make sure that
there is not exposed metal on the fuse, and be sure to buy the clips that
retract so in the event that the clip falls off, it wont short anything out.
Good luck, and of course, I or anybody I know is not responsable for anything
that may happen and/or my spelling.
