Hi Gang:
One of the things that came to mind after Howard told us about his
"lost" serial cable: We often get a lot of "stuff" that looks similar
and it's easy to misplace or forget what goes with what.
A while back, I took the trouble to always put a piece of white tape
on each wall-wart power brick that would come with a piece of gear,
and label the little PS with it's mating unit. That way, I was
reasonably assured that I would not insert a supply of incorrect
voltage or polarity.
It's helped out a -lot- over the years. And, to keep track of them, I
had a large milk crate where I would keep them.. so I'd at least know
where to find a power supply.
And, the same thing could be done with cables... put a piece of
writable tape on one end (as a "flag") and identify it's use.
