Fan power in A1200

[McVenco]

I'm doing a little hacking/casemodding in my A1200 because it's too hot. I've got a BPPC/040 to which I already attached an extra heatsink, but for the rest I still have a pretty hot A1200 (harddisk generates a lot of heat, too).

I want to add some fans under the "grill slots" in the top lid, but I need to know where I can get the power from. I would like to take power from the floppy power connector, but what pins do I need to connect to? I think 1 fan might be enough, but maybe I'll attach 2 just to keep things cool.

Thanks in advance for help.

Cheers,
Eric

but what pins do I need to connect to

The power connector looks like this:

 --+----
|o o o o|
+---_---+

From left to right:

red = +5V
black = ground
black = ground
yellow = +12V

Check your fan's voltage and then choose the right pins. You can also get 7V if you connect the fan between +12 and +5V, but I don't think this is recommended.
