Sounds like you need to stick it in the freezer :)
Try adding some more fans to the box to help keep the drive cool. It'll
probably run stably for great lengths of time (until it just up and
crashes).
I have a Fortune 32:16 as well. The only one I've ever seen. I guess
that makes it uncommon too, by my own standards :) The floppy mechanism
on mine needs work. I have a Fortune terminal but I don't think it's the
special kind that was mentioned was required to interface with it. I
don't have a keyboard either.
