yep, no fusing what so ever actually.
just straight wires from the power supply terminals....worked great until i
left, came back an hour later and hooked it up again but forgot the position
of the ground and posative and hooked it up backwards.
Likely a lost cause.
Got a decent ducky out of the deal though lol.
