I recently moved my AT compatible's box to a more enclosed shelf
so I'm now concerned about overheating the thing. The temperature
on the box surface had been 75 F (+-2) but in its new nest it has
climbed to 86 F (+-2). Does anyone have any experience with
operating in this latter heat environment or know the safe
temperature range? When do parts begin to get dicey, fail and
reach critical mass?
Inside the box (a Commodore PC40, West German made):
Award BIOS
80286, 10 mhz, 0 wait (SI 9.7)
1 Meg Ram
1.2 Meg floppy
360 k floppy
20 Meg "mini" HD (SI 3)
1 serial, 1 parallel port
1200 bps modem
AGA card
Thanks,
Rob
[Also, a belated thanks to those who responded to my January
query about 80286s and O/S 2. All were useful comments and
observations; as you can see I bought the 80286 machine.]
