Yeah... There's a little pull-out handle that makes it easy to pull out. It's pretty easy to insert and pull out the HDD without having taken out the spacers that way too. But the 8.5 will have a loose fit, while the 9.5mm will face a little resistance going in. You'll never any affect of a 9.5mm having been in it unless you split the case open any look closely. Even then you might not see anything if no physical damage was done to any MB components. Maybe some skid marks. > > But > > it appears that warm boot problem went away after reinstalling W95, > >even if you had the same problem with the MapSource software. > >[T] Well, I'm not sure about the disk clicking problem as I was focusing on >Mapsource at that time!

Oh, okay.... You're getting these errors trying to run the MapSource program, not trying to access the CD-ROM data from a working program. I didn't realize that MapSource had it's own program, but of course it must. > > Although W98 runs a little slower than W95 on the 50CT, I > > like the fact that it has far more drivers, and can detect and set > up >much more hardware automatically. > >[T] That's what I have since seen on the Libby .. a completely clean a >functional machine, including a 3Com ethernet card.

Keep us posted on the clicking.
