	Are you sure you've fried the power supply itself and not something
on the motherboard? Does the power supply blow fuses when it's *not* 
plugged into anything? This sounds more like you would have blow something
on the motherboard than the power supply, since the voltages available at
the serial port just don't very much amperage behind them.
