There is an attachment that screws onto the case, normally using one of the screw holes that also close the case. When the cable is run through this attachment, it blocks access to the screw, therefore, no access to the inside of the case without first unlocking it and removing the cable. ****************************************************************************** * Dave Holmack * * MicroComputer Sys Spec.
