Hi Bart,
I never ran up and grabbed them to check :D
But I think they were running VERY "stone cold" in all cases as far as I
know... "I" have never seen a hot SIDAC... SIDACSs are either full on
or off so heating "should" not be an issue as far as I know. But if the
board is "on fire", strange things might happen :D
