I can't say specifically but some models didn't have a fan and those that did had a small one. Most of these ran with about a 40W power supply. Neil ... I ... ...

... I can confirm that the only fan in the Tandy 1000 TX is in the power supply, at the back of the unit, and that the fan blades are clearly visible through...
... Hi folks. I thought I'd contribute my two cents worth. The fan in the TX power supply is really easy to get at. I got into my TX power supply just so I...
Thanks for the tips; at first I thought it might be acceptable to run a 286 without a fan, but apparently not. I installed a fan in it from an old Macintosh,...

Mike, Excellent suggestion. That's exactly what I did when my cable went bad on my 1000SL years ago. The only down side is that (at least with the SL) you ...
