RAMFast heat problems



	I've been having my //gs freeze now that the weather is getting hotter. 
If it gets above 85 deg. in the room that the 'puter is in, it'll lock up so
bad that I have to turn the thing off, let it cool, and then turn it on
again for a few more minutes of running time.  The case is off and a fan is
blowing over the motherboard, so the temp reading is accurate, and it should be
cool enough.  The problem doesn't go away if I take out the other cards (ZipGS,
5MB RAM card, or sound card), so I know it's with the RAMFast, as it also
doesn't happen if I just run off floppies.  I've tried putting the RAMFast in
different slots, also to no avail.  Only once have I gotten any sort of error
notice out to the RAMFast, which was some sort of SCSI sync error.  Anybody
else familiar with this problem?  BTW, the card is only one or two years old.
Also what's the policy on getting the thing fixed?  I run a BBS, so it's
imperative that I get it back up and running as soon as possible.  Oh, one last
thing - the GS is a ROM 03.

	Thanks in advance.
