Hmm, well, it does take a bit more force than you
might
expect. I push up the latches, give a bit of a hard
jerk,
and hold the bottom edge away just a little bit while
I
work a putty knive into the space between the front
and
side panels, prying the edge of the front panel away
from
the side panel. This frees the plastic "hooks" from
the
loops on the side panel.
What I mean is I can pop the bottom latches, but the
hooks on the side panel absolutely will not give
whatsoever. Any more force or leverage would break the
plastic. I shall try again since my internal HD is
iffy and I have a pristine 6 gig that would eager take
is place, as well as an old scsi 1 gig HD I'd love to
stick in the top loft.

Not sure what you mean here. I got a "generic" two
port
USB PCI card (make sure it is OHCI compliant) for just
a few $$. What is a "wireless USB network card?"
Someone gave me a wireless card that connects into a
USB port. It is a device that resembles a small modem
[and may contain on in fact] with an attena. It is not
an internal pci card at all, it sits externally. It
was from a pc network but I wanted to test it on a
mac, but alas, I am too low end and none of my macs
have USB.
I heard sonnet makes a usb card for a 6400. But I do
not want to spend any $$$ on this frustrating beast
[which has been my main desktop for a few years
now]...
Hey, I do have a perfectly working 12x cdrom drive in
it though...
