Mr. Redpath, you are a welcome breeze of common sense. I had no intention of
tinkering with a live electrical device, though I did consider using a new
technological device called a wooden stick to flip the Cuda! But the SCSI
cable is sort of in the way, so I believe this box is going to get sold as
parts. Anyone need parts? Another kind soul offered to transfer the data on
my SCSI to a CD, so I may just package that up for him this weekend. I think
I'll go swimming with the sharks now...........all the best.............
