	Yes, I found it. It is in January'89 issue of MACazine.

	They talked about two fans: a Piezoelectric fan and a box fan. I
assume you refer to the box fan. Here is what is said about it.

	"... The correct size (of fans) for Macs measures 2-3/8-inch
square by 1-in or 1.25-in thick. ...
	"Electrically, the red fan lead connects to the yellow, ninth
wire of the power supply harness (+12V) and the black fan lead connects
to the violet, sixth wire (DC ground) of the power supply harness. For a
clean connection w/o having to cut or solder anyting, use Radio Shack
wire tap-ins #64-302 (10 for $1.69). With tap-in connectors,  all you
have to do is place the wires alongside each other and squeeze. The fan
itself mounts up under the left rear exhaust vent. The fit is real tight
and, once again, all you need is ordinary mounting tape to hold it in
place."

	"Matshushita (Panasonic) Fan #T34, 436, $9.95.
	 Edmund Scientific Company
	 101 E. Gloucester Pike
	  Barrington, NJ 08007-1380
	 Tel: 609-573-6250"

	Let me know if you need further information.
