So that's what that little plastic panel on the back is for! But I'm hesitant to buy an expansion card for this machine, because I won't be able to use it anywhere else. At least PCMCIA cards are interchangeable between many different machines. I think the HD-install route will be best. > The keyboard is loose as soon as the grill is removed. > Just lift the keyboard at the upper edge along the functions keys. Ah, okay.

I am glad that Apple still makes it available. Thanks for the link. I couldn't find any information on removing the hard disk, however. How do you do this? I've removed the two screws at the right of the "tray" that holds the disk, but then what are you supposed to do? Lift it up a bit and slide it to the right, or lift it up 90 degrees, etc.? I don't see any kind of release mechanism for the connector at the left end. --Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
