eMacs were built for being on 24-7 in school labs and such; I expect that the drives they had in them were what Apple got as commodities back then. Newer drives are going to run cooler anyway. I may have the eMac service manual around somewhere...maybe on my work system. I poked around remotely, but couldn't find it. I'll be back to work Monday and can use Spotlight to find it. -- Bruce Johnson "No matter where you go, there you are", B.
