Just my own experience. And yeah, both of my breadbins have been
affected by bad PSUs. In one, the PLA got half-borked. In the other, one
of the sdram chips got messed up. Actually, the ram one might be a
coincidence of just ram gone bad along with the system's PSU gone bad.
The same thing happened to my Atari PSU that I've had for over 30 years
since NIB. Maybe it's this desert climate.

The PSUs from c64psu.com are worth it, imo.
