   Robert, the university of washington was having the same problem
with their 6000 systems, so they put a very large fan on the rear
cover (the card cage access cover) and that solved the problem.  I
have another 6000 sitting over at don kimberlin's house in renton, that
also has the rear mounted fan.  perhaps we could work out a trade
of some sort.  that other 6000 is only being used as a cp/m machine,
something that can be replaced by a TRS2, so the machine doesn't hold a lot
of value for me.

(I'm up to my neck in spare TRS2s.)
