[comp.sys.apple] Apple ][+ temperature

mikel@maui.cs.ucla.edu (08/19/88)

Well, my noisy fan finally got to me and so I removed it from my system.
Now the question is, is 5 cards too much for a for a ][+?
I originally got the fan 'cause seven cards was making the interior
too hot, but now I've pulled the printer card and integer basic card
(bought when they were still $200 :-( ).
All I've got now is the 16K ram card, applecat and 1200 upgrade,
videx videoterm, and disk controller... in other words,
a slightly smart dumb terminal for dialup.

(it feels kinda weird typing without the keyboard rumbling from the fan)

No.  Or at least it hasn't killed my Apple yet.  I have five cards in my
Apple, 80 column, 16K ram, disk controller, modem, and printer, and my 
computer sit on my desk surrounded by a computer hutch, thus it gets next
to non ventilation.  The only problem I have with it is that the on/off
switch is acting up so I fixed that problem by not turning off my computer,
so far it has been on since mid February with no problems of over heating,
knock on wood.

My feelings exactly.
