I'm not sure if this works on Epoxy, but many adhesives are susceptible to heat. You might try cooking it with a heat gun up to 600 - 800 F say. I'm not sure how high a temp the case plastics will tolerate though. I keep seeing mention of restoring the original 128K Macs. Is there any reason one couldn't simply buy the old lower capacity RAM chips and install them? I'm sure they're not common, but I've seen lots on Ebay and such that were probably the correct density. What are they? 64K X 1? Jeff Walther -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
