Don, not having looked at the schematic too closely, I can't confirm or deny
this, but Commodore states in their Amiga service manual that turning the
machine back on too soon "may cause premature failure of the power on switch".
I suppose it is possible, though I haven't seen any power supplies yet that
would cause excess current or large spikes through the AC input line just by
being turned on a few seconds after power off. Better safe than sorry?
Regards, Larry.
