[comp.sys.mac] Question about Mac IIcx

ok@dadent.wustl.edu (Orly Kamin) (06/01/89)

I am new to the net and do not know if this topic has already been
discussed.  We are interested in purchasing a Mac IIcx for work,
but have been hearing rumors about design flaws in the fan system.
Has anyone heard of any problems with this machine?  Thanks in
advance for your help.

Mail can be sent directly to me at ok@tripos.com.

I read in MacWeek that the fan sucks air in through the floppy drive slot,
causing dust and other general crud to accumulate on the drive itself.  Has
anyone with a IIcx had a real problem with this?  If people have, are there any
plans from Apple to fix it (a la the SE noisy fan)?
