- I could not run my A1230/50 for more than 2 minutes if I had the trapdoor on.
- Would even crash in Amiga Early startup etc etc.. By lfting the machine and
- taking the tdoor off, it lasted , maybe, 10 minutes before crashing and having
- to powerdown. Solved the problem by cutting a round hole in the trapdoor,
- installing a Pentium CPU fan underneath and it works now without overheating.
-
- Just a warning to all those thinking of getting an Apollo - if you run your
- machine 24hours you wil probably have to install some sort of cooling system.
- Apart from that, it absolutely FLIES along at about 9.6 MIPS <Sysinfo, PAL 8
- colour no start-upsequence>
