in the empty bay, and this seems to work. the PSU is actually not IBM made,
it is an aftermarket brand that has a strong fan in it, stronger than what I


find on NEW Yackard Hells! <G>

It continues to amaze me on just WHY whatever IBM made, as flawed as it is,
the public jumped on it and supported it... look at winsucks 95.....
