I was in the middle of linking up my 1200 with my PC. The Amiga was switched on, and so was the PC. I attached the laplink cable to the Amiga, and the I proceeded to attach it to the PC. Not thinking about the Amigas somewhat different parallel port, and being somewhat clumsy when trying to attach the cable to the PC, sparks was emitted from the backside of the pc, it turned itself off, and a smell of burned electronics filled the room...
Fortunately it was only the PC motherboard which fried, and I got a new one claiming it "just died on me".
