You could get a replacement connector at an electronics shop (R**** S**** does not fit in this category). Make sure you take the board with you. Make sure you get one that has the same hole pattern. Some connectors will not fit the have the same fit of pins, board mount holes and back panel holes. One hint, to remove the existing connector, cut the contact pins off and remove the connector then unsolder the contact pins. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
