I just got around to pulling the 400k floppy from my mac+ and replacing it with an 800K. Is there any way I can use the old 400k drive in a PC? Also, the power supply recently failed. What is the consensus on using a fan to keep things cool? To me, it seems very hot near the top of the box. I've recently added external floppy and scsi hard disk -- the supply failed soon after. Is this failure just overdue, or do overstuffed macs need some cooling? Direct replies are probably best -- I'm sure this has been overdiscussed in the past. BTW - I was one of the early purchasers of the 128K mac, way back when. Since then I have replaced the original memory, then the motherboard (and back case), then the keyboard, then the power supply, and now finally the internal drive. The only original parts are the mouse, the tube, and the front case. Is this amazing, or is it pitiful? (I've also owned and upgraded PCs, but often it was cheap enough to buy a whole new machine. Hence I have four PCs, various vintages, but only one mac.) Kaare Christian The Rockefeller Univ. kc@rna.rockefeller.edu rna%kc@rockvax.bitnet ..!cmcl2!rna!kc
