Ohhh... was I supposed to use those screws? I thought they were for decoration.
Always wondered why they didn't come in different colors :)

Unfortunatly, most people don't give a thought to how there motherboard is
layed out. And those who start to tinker get burned. Happend to me once.
And I had to remove my floppy when I used my new (larger) simms, or hang it 
out the open chassis.

On my goliath, it takes me 2 minutes 58 seconds to shutdown the computer, open
the side panel, change the jumper, close the side panel, boot the computer...
Nothin' but net.

BTW, I would lend you a couple of IRQ's but I got some new hardware comin' next
week.
