You could do one of two things...I don't take responisblitity for
anything that you do.
1. You could buy a normal 486/Pentium heatsink and fan, and replace the
68060 fan with a 486/Pentium type one (a clean solution).
2. You could take the powercable from the PPC and 68060 fans and replace it
with the one 486/Pentium one. I would'nt recommend this though...and I
should'nt
even suggest it, though it should probley work..just make sure that you use
lots of
heatshrink and solder on connections and stuff...I have done this before
with large
powersupply type fans though its not a clean solution
I would strongly recommend that you do number 1 as it is alot more
professional
and has more chance of not going belly-up

I don't take responibility for any of these, just please remember this
