[COPLIN, Nicholas.]  I would have to agree that the 7501/8501 would have to
be to most failure prone semi-conductor ever made. 2/3 of my Plus4 machines
are toast and the remaining one works for all of 5mins before it
"overheats", whilst the 3/3 of my C16's seem to work!

Is the problem model specific? Does anyone know of any fixes to help prolong
their life (Heat sinks? cooling fan?) 

Can a more robust 6502 be fitted?
