I've found that my 1040 runs at a reasonable temperature when it's not doing anything in particular. But if you do disk copies for a couple of hours, then you notice the melting. If I weren't hopping onto a plane very soon to go to the radioactive terrorist jungle called Europe, I'd write a quick demo program to do lots of intensive copying to test the point. Would anyone care to write a short program to copy a disk back and forth, and post it to this net group? .......ak.

I dont know about the 1040, but when I first got my 520 i used it to give a demo at our universities freshers fair. It ran the slide show program solidly for about 6 hours without a problem. With the slide show the disk drive motor is permanently on, but of course it only reads, not writes, the disk. S.J.Gordon @ Sibly Hall, Reading University, UK
