The ones I have seen use what looks like surface mount zero ohm resistor
(like a small square of ceramic surface mounted to the board.), but
marked as "F1" or Fuse or in one case Fuze. I have only seen this about
5 times total, though, so do not know if this has gone away in newer
hardware.

Unfortunately I never checked the PCB identity, so I have no idea of
which manufacturer(s) these may have been.
