Help!

I recently fried the power supply on my Amiga 2000. I did this by shorting
a terminal on the serial port to ground.  I have replaced the fuse, but it
just keeps blowing.  So here I am looking for a new power supply.

There are several places that have new ones in my area, but they
want about $150.
Can I hack an IBM a/t supply (about $50) to work?  The voltages seem to
be ok +5, -5, +12, -12, but there is a line marked "TIC". That is the one
I can't figure out.  Is it there on the IBM supply? Can I fake it?

Thanks, Geoff Mendelson
