Anyone on the list have experience with Quaddoublers? I have a Quadra 700 I leave on for months at a time as an OpenBSD box doing some minor tasks, and I noticed when it's given very intense tasks (like for instance, today when I was compiling OpenSSH), it tends to have stability issues.
I believe there's an overheating problem with the processor, since after a crash in OpenBSD (while the processor is still very hot) the system becomes incredibly unstable in OS 7.6. If I power it off for a few minutes, or just let it sit idle, things return back to normal. Also, if I return the original 25mhz CPU things are okay again. I noticed the Quaddoubler pictured on Sonnet's web site does not have a fan, but a heatsink. For some reason my Quaddoubler has a fan attached, which doesn't seem to be cooling it effectively. Anyone think replacing the fan on the Quaddoubler with the original Quadra heatsink would yield better results? It's very rare that I work this system hard, so it's generally not an issue; would still be nice to fix it though. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
