1472.0. "SUPRA problems, overheating??" by AITG::WISNER (Paul Wisner :optimize '((speed 3) (safety 0))) Mon Jun 13 1988 20:48

    Since moving my Supra drive from home to work I've been having some
    frightening problems.  I did park the drive before I moved it. 
    
    Since moving it I've been getting alot of read errors.  I've been
    replacing each corrupted file as I encounter them, this seems to
    be working fine.
    
    THE SCARY PART:  After leaving my drive running for a couple of
    hours, the busy light comes on and stays on.  The next time I try
    to access the Supra the whole system lock up and I must reboot!
    
    Is this a temperature problem?  I have the 20mb Supra (without the
    fan).  Any advice???

    Paul:
    
    Go back a ways to the note entitled 'A New Hard Drive Owner' for
    instructions on where to get and how to install a fan.  My Supra
    performed flawlessly for a year once I had installed my own fan.

Right, any vendor who plugs a hard drive in a little box, with a power supply
and NO fan deserves what they get - unfortunetly the customer doesn't deserve
the hassel!
