Hi John,
>verging on "hot", say like a tall glass of just-poured hot tea
- you can hold it, but you'd sort of like to put it down. My
questions are, first, is this normal?
Its normal, but beware, if the machine does get too hot it
will crash. Mine did(does) the same. CPUIdle helps, but under
Win95 I still had heat crashes once in a while when I was using
my 3COM PCMCIA modem, which runs very hot, plus the Toshiba 6GB
harddisk I installed also got very hot. Now I have installed a
Hitachi 20GB hard disk under WinME the machine doesn't heat up
much at all, but I still have to attempt an extended surfing
session to confirm this problem is fixed now.
I considered drilling holes into the EPR, but decided against
it. Instead, I managed to alleviate some of the heat problems
by wrapping the EPR in thin copper foil (from a hobby shop), so
the heat is spread out and away from the libretto.. this
doesn't look pretty, but seems to help.
Hope this helps a bit
Regards
Anke
