I've replaced the fuses with glass ones because I couldn't find picofuses anywhere near:

looks a bit ugly, its just a temporary solution until picofuses arrive. Important thing is that A520 RF modulator now WORKS on A2000 and external FDD, too. :-)
BTW, there should be no other problem with using glass fuses other than fitting them, right?

You should be OK with the glass fuses.. it's just an appearance matter. Personally, I never understood why they put 4A fuses in there, when the ports are rated at less than 200mA. It's good they're in there though. I've seen rev 4 motherboards vaporize those traces. (no fuses!)

:-D GOOD JOB ;-)
Im really happy for that old rusty a2k works for ya!

Well I think they look pretty cool anyway.
Besides, is anybody going to see the insides- how often do you use your Amiga, topless?

@orange Please check what they have done (maybe my uncle many years ago) with F1 and F5, soldered a wire on fuses :crazy:

What's the exact specification of that fuse to buy? 4A pico fuse like this?

Hope someone could explain =/
