   I hate to admit it, but I have had no problems with my 1541 in the 3 years
that I have had it.  I keep my drive propped up on two pieces of molding so
that air can get underneath it and keep it cool.  A friend of mine *had* the
overheating problem, and he did this, and it has not happened since.
