	FYI.   Some 2000's have 115V AC fans.  Mine did, it was an
	"ETRI", made in France (50/60 HZ, 10/8 watts).  Nonetheless, 
	it also alternates between jet engine takeoff mode and garbage 
	disposal mode.

	I replaced it and my 2000 is much quieter now. ( Coincidentally,
	I replaced it with a 115V AC fan, I thought that would work
	better than a 12V DC fan in my machine).  It was sort of a pain
	because the fan was attached with those crimped on connectors
	and I had to drill them out.  ( If you do this, be sure to
	cover everything and vacuum afterwords ... misplaced aluminium
	filings in a computer are such a pain.)

	Looking back on it, I suspect my fan of occasionally crashing
	my system by polluting the power supply.  I hate it when I'm
	on move 212 of Empire and my system crashes ...
