17.008 I would like to install an internal fan in an Apple IIgs. I pulled a good looking fan from an old PC power supply. It is an NMB "FLOW MAX" rated: DC +12V @0.14 Amps. Is this fan okay? How do I connect it?

The voltage rating is fine, the amperage level should be fine as well.
You can connect the fan to the two-pin connector near the back left side
of the motherboard. The pinout for the "Fan connector" is +12V and Ground. The
+12 is the pin closest to the powersupply, or the pin on the left if you are
facing the GS motherboard from the front end. Most fan wires are color coded,
so the red wire goes to power and black to ground.
