As has been posted before, no problem, unless you have some high-power
cards in there. My data logger has been running for a year and three
months, with three outages for resetting the clock at DST on/off (also
resetting the clock due to drift at the same time). The only cards in
it are super serial, floppy controller, and the no-slot clock. Since
it's out in the unheated garage, I've been more worried about the cold
causing problems, but it keeps running.

The data aquisition is running through the paddle ports, and a voltage
to frequency converter that uses the cassette port. It works pretty
well, but I wish I'd bought some real ADC cards back when Applied
Engineering was still around. An IO 32 would be nice too.
