Hi John, Sorry, but you can not change the direction of fan rotation by reversing the polarity. It is DC fan indeed, but it isn't "DC motor" - the power is applied to the small integral or transistor cirquit inside, which generates pulses for making electromagnetic waves. Attempt to connect the fan in wrong polarity will burn it out in most cases. WBR, Artur -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
