I run a Bulletin Board system - an application which keeps my Apple IIe running around the clock. Nearly all of my slots are full, and consequently it gets very warm inside the computer. I do have a System Saver Fan installed, but the internal temperature still seems very high. I know that cooler temperatures are better for electronics in general, and thus want to cool down my computer as much as possible. I'm considering: Removing the power supply from the IIe, placing it outside the computer, grounding it to the IIe base pan, and installing another fan or two in the nice open area that will be left in the back of the IIe. Has anyone tried this? I welcome any thoughts or comments. Mike Yellin Bitnet: Sparks@Drycas Arpa: MY0L@Andrew.cmu.edu

I have an Apple ][+ with all but Slot four filled. About 4 months ago I moved the power supply outside the computer, as the system saver that was on the machine was not quite doing the job. I haven't taken any special pre- cautions to ground the power supply, but haven't had any problems yet. David Kelman Bitnet: V363HKM4@UBVMS Internet: v363hkm4@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu
