:) Have you tried shutting off the fan by cutting the wires to it? Perhaps that

I really hate to follow this thread, but...
As to your Model 70, did you know that it was released about 2 hours
after the Tandy 5000MC? Did you also know that the Tandy 5000MC is the
only other OS/2 (read micro-channel) machine one the market?
Did you also know that the Tandy 5000MC and the IBM PS/2 Model 70 are
physically IDENTICAL inside?
PC magazine did an article on it a while back. The only differance
they found was that the Tandy was faster!!! (Now how's your fan blowing?)
Oops. I made a mistake... There was one other differance...
... about $4000.00 ...
The 5000MC was release about $4000 less.
