Wel,, the PSU is linear, and the logic is not exactly low-power, but I've
never seen one with a fan. But a muffin fan can't hurt!

Ah, so you got the free emmeory board too. Story is that the Nascom CPU
board was designed to take 4118 IK byte RAMs, but they were in short
supply, so they shipped the machine with a 16K (or something) DRAM board.

A word of warning. Check you've connected the keyboard to the right plug
on the CPU board. If you plug it into the serial connector by mistake you
will do a lot of damage! And the keyboard came pre-assembled so there's
no scheamtic in the manual...
