Garey, you just HAVE to be different, don't you? :) I should point out, for those who have not "been there, done that" yet, the board puller mates up with small holes near the upper edge of the vertcally interted boards. The wide boards will have two holes, narrow boards will have only one. As a side note, some of the boards have copper grounding fingers attached - make sure the mating surfaces are clean and the fingers are "springy" enough to make contact. I don't recall who first posted the PC slot cover idea for a DR-7 puller, but that was one of those d'oh! moments for me when I first read it. I was a PC tech for over 10 years, and I'm always tripping over those things around here. I just never made the connection. IBM slot covers are much better than any of the others, of course.... 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
