Re: Funny thing happened on my way to trying out Kipperterm 128

This one has me stumped. If it were a surge, then perhaps the surge protector couldn't stop the surge, and so, the higher voltage affected the weaker (more susceptible) items, i.e., the C128DCR's power supply and the 1581's power supply. If it were a low-voltage condition (brown-out), then the surge protector does nothing for that, and so, the lower voltage affected the weaker items. The 1541-II's power supply somehow survived the over/under-voltage condition (did the 1581 and the 1541-II have the same type of p.s.?) Anyway, something happened along the 5V line.
