Yo compacters everywhere, Looking to quiet his Classic, our "Tyrone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hypothesizes:
>I think that the classic, although a cheapie at the time, probably has a >cooler running powersupply and analogue board than the Plus ever did. If >anyone has any ideas I'd be greatful. Long ago on this forum, our Clark Martin posted power consumption data he had metered on several compacts. His data metered in volt/amps (nearly the same as watts) shows: compact power in VA Mac Plus 27.7 Mac SE 42.0 Mac Classic 26.9 Mac SE/30 39.3 Thus, Tyrone's hypothesis is correct. The Classic uses the least energy of the compacts shown coming in just a shade cooler than the Plus itself. Of interest here, I have been working extensively with a Classic II all winter. The Classic II has the same power supply as the Classic. I had fears that the cooling fan of this Classic II was dead. It had not run since I first turned it on in late November. Two weeks ago, the fan started running intermittently. In winter, my bench space is decidedly cool. I noticed the fan's intermittent running tracked the cycling of my heater which is set to take the chill off but not toast me. Do I recall that the Classic II and perhaps the Classic has a thermostat in the fan curcuit? Tyrone, If you live on the east coast of that prison colony, JUST DO IT! If you live out there in a tank town on the Nullaubor, don't. Bill -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
