    I am helping a friend fix up an Opcode Studio 5.  I did a rom
upgrade (that worked), but another problem he has is that after a while,
the thing will stop working.  One thing I noticed is that even with the
lid off (there is no ventilation on this box by the way), the 5 volt
regulator and heatsink will get too hot to touch after about 5 or 10
minutes of operation.  Is this heating problem common?  I am thinking
about adding a fan in the box for him to help keep it cool.
