   using StereoPlayer V10.3 with Super CPU

   Hi I have come across an issue with the Super CPU running the older   
   CGSC  STEREOPLAYERV10.3   
      
   I have come across an issue running on either a C64C or a 128DCR:   
      
   Setup as follows:   
      
   C64C or C128DCR(running in 64 mode)   
   Using either a V1 SUPER CPU or V2 SUPER CPU   
   Accessing Sid files etc using:  UIEC2SD   
   STEREO PLAYER V10.3   
      
   The computer can be on for at least 3 hours loading and playing SID music   
   ( the CGSC SIDS)  so then at least AT 3 hours then just the IEC serial port   
   seems to lockup, then when I try to load a Sid file the drive wont even    
   load anything.   
      
   So then I did some hardware swapping:   
   I removed my UIEC2SD and tried a floppy drive, same thing the IEC serial port   
   just seems to hang (or something else).   
   I plugged my IEC2SD back in, removed my Super CPU, tried loading a Sid file   
   again, walla then any Sid files will then load okay.   
      
   I tried this also on my 128DCR with the UIEC etc and the same    
   IEC lockup occurs, again remove the Super CPU and then lockup dissapears.   
      
   On my V2 C64 Super CPU I removed the main cover (years ago) and the    
   cooling issue is easy.  And NO I am  very careful not to drop anything metal   
   into the SCPU main board. :)   
   My V2 SCPU I installed a small 486 Cooling fan into the main case, I mainly   
   use this SCPU with my 128DCR's, I tapped into the 12V side of the power source   
   to power the cooling fan, ( with the SCPU cover installed) and running the   
   Wave Browser to really    
   run the Super Ram hard, the Fan does spin faster and never did overheat..   
      
   I dont think this is a cooling issue beause the computer doesnt lockup and   
   the  Super Ram doesnt lock the system up either.   
   This only occurs after 3 to 4 hours of operation and then I cant   
   load any Sid files, the IEC serial port seems to be locked up and the    
   Disk drive wont even respond.   
      
   Any suggestions of what this might be, any possible fixes?
