No, it shouldn't be that hot. I have a topcat too
plus 64MB, and everything
is crammed in a single-story enclosure (380's tend to be found in cases with
the expansion box), and it runs just warm to the touch. Check the fans and
look for dustbunnies clogging the circulation.
No, I haven't got any expansion box. It's all crammed into a 30?30?12 cm box.
An extra ethernet card is fit in the top slot.
Fans? What fans? Is it supposed to have fans?
One thing I found particularly sympathetic about it was the fact that it was
absolutely silent. The only thing which reveals that it's running is the smell
of burning ICs.
