[Coco] My CoCo3

[Bill Pierce]

Since I have a Eagle AT keyboard interface and no internal keyboard (panel installed covering the hole), my fan is mounted in the lower left of the keyboard area. It draws air from underneath and all top vents are covered except over the Disto 1-meg mem. This keeps everything cool, no overheating problems.

Like Nick, I need to give the Coco a bath. After 2 years in my dusty studio, it's in dire need of a thorough going over, especially the keyboard.

Had installed on my CoCo 3 two small thin fans pretty much like Nick has on
his computer, but I powered them with a small external 12vdc wall wart -
didn't want to load the already burdened CoCo 3 power supply. Worked like a
charm keeping the insides at a comfortable temperature during the hot days
in Southern Arizona. When the 513k RAM expansion was changed to the Cloud 9
TRIAD not too long ago, the need for the cooling fans was out of the
picture so I removed them.
