03.007 My SpeeDemon accelerator board seems to run hot in my II+. Is this normal? Should I add cooling?

         Indeed, the 'demon is a power gobbler-- roughly 1.5A as I recall-- and
some of the IC's run hot. When the board bombed after one long session, we cut
out a square section on the back of the II+ and added a mini-fan, just to blow
air across the 'Demon board. This ended the heat problem.
