- Depending on what else you have in you're A1200, the heat may not be
- enough of a problem to warrant hacking around with your computer. OTOH,
- if you have other extras like a 3.5" harddisk, 16MB SIMM (this gets
- almost as hot as the 68030-50) etc. then the best idea is a standard 12v
- fan like the ones used in power supplies. I mounted one inside, beside
- the floppy drive, but you could also put it on top of the case.
