- I installed one of those Toshibas 3 days ago into my NeXTstation Color. It
- replaced the 406 Mb Seagate. The air temperature measured between the heat
- sink fins by a 6 inch industrial thermometer changed from 92 degrees to 96
- degrees. I didn't measure the room temperature at the time but it usually
- is in the 65 - 70 degree range.
