Same thing happened at my Uni when one of the Prime operators took
home a BBC for the holidays. She had an external disk drive for it,
that plugged into the BBC's power underneath the machine (not at
all obvious). So, she went ahead and fitted a mains plug to the
three-core cable that fed the drive. Usual release of magic smoke...
