Re: Does the IIGS not like the position

Hi,
 The postion of the Power Supply does not matter for being turned on, but
the heat from it will not vent properly. This is if it is left on for a
long period in cramped space.
I would suspect the  On/Off switch on the IIgs. A lot of these went bad.
With a system saver leave the IIgs and Monitor on turn off from system
saver or a power strip.
All the conections, then fuse then in the power supply.
