Just FYI Steel Talons is not going out tomorrow. I am performing a heat test on it by connecting thermocouples to it because the left side would not work at all after the back door was closed for a short time. Glenn

Here are the temperature measurements after running overnight: Monitor compartment: 41 Upper center of electronics compartment: 38 Lower center of electronics compartment: 29 Center area of MSYNC pcb: 34 Audio pcb audio output transistor: 44 The game was playable this morning even though it was very hot. I got into self- test and found no errors, but when I exited self-test I got a "bad poly bufffer error". Glenn

Here are the temperature measurements for Steel Talons with the fan installed on the right side of the cabinet: Monitor compartment: 20 deg (41 w/o fan) Upper center of PCB compartment: 28 deg (38 w/o fan) Above center of PCB set: 28 deg (34 w/o fan) Ambient room temp: 22 deg (same as prev test) The left side did have 5 Error counts but no "bad poly buffer errors" nor resets occured over the weekend. The right side had 2 resets and 1 comm error. Glenn
