IBM PC = I've Blown My Power Circuit	:-)

One of ours has.  An AT, to be precise.  I've broken into the power supply,
and found a blown fuse.  The markings on the board say "6A ABC", and those
on the fuse say "BUSS ABC 6".  The fuse is a 1 1/4" type; it looks like the
main body is ceramic.  It is white, and has a black ring painted round one
end.

So, can someone tell me what the "ABC" means?  Can I replace it with a standard
6.3A fuse?  If so, should it be fast-blow or slow-blow; if not, where can I get
a replacement?

Thanks in advance.
