Valentin@cbmvax advised against running an A1000 without a cooling fan. I have actually done this for about six months when my original fan failed and I didn't notice that my very quiet Amiga was now a totally silent A1000. No harm done, I rarely switch the machine off and it was a hot NJ summer. The replacement fan is now getting noisy:-( Kevin Northover ( ....!gotham!trader!kevin -- this is a borrowed account)

The replacement fan is now getting noisy:-( Of course you can do it, the same way I can run my car without the fan belt installed. It'll work under many conditions for some period of time, but if/when it fails, the results may be expensive. In a sense you are advising this person to take a risk, the consequences of which are potentially buying a new power supply or other system components... Send him your phone number just in case... 8-) -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
