For you. My undergrad was *mechanical* engineering, not electrical.

So then a higher wattage rated p/s would automatically have higher
amperage ratings? Cool. I'll just grab a 300w p/s tomorrow, and see if I
can get one with one of those extra connectors...

Not gonna risk it. I'll wait 'till tomorrow and get one I know won't
blow.

Hmmm, it's three orange wores and three black. That doesn't tell youu
much, though. I can't even tell you what they trace to, as I took the
P/S to my friend's shop for him to attempt repair. Irrelevant at this
point, though, since I'll have a brandy-new one in the morning :)
