Well, that's kind of the point... I wanted something that is not going to move around much and maintain perfect contact. My goal here is to create a sort of 'ultimate' Macintosh IIsi for my needs and vision. I don't ever plan on removing the video card. Why do so when the card only enhances function and performance? It eliminates the need for the IIsi to use the first 1MB of RAM as VRAM, thus speeding things up slightly. It also gives me access to 16- and 24-bit color and higher resolutions. In any event, the tip of the pin that sticks out is slightly hooked as a result of it's original bend. It was not my intention to leave it this way, it just would've been quite difficult to straighten that part of it out. The result is that if for some reason it ever *did* need to come out, it wouldn't be very hard with a pair of needlenose pliers. Not to mention I have a complete Mac IIsi box (minus monitor) in my closet as a spare parts donor if anything ever dies on the one I use. :) -Nat -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
