I've also got an AS200/166... I haven't noticed the CPU fan noise as much
as the clatter of the old SCSI disk, but does this model have the
capability for this type of power management too?

(And I never noticed the heat sensor on that computer because I never had
to crack the case... Slink insalled flawlessly. :)
