	The Mac+ power board (the vertical one - in case you are not sure)
	should have a plastic cover between it and the case. On that, the
	various important places are printed.

	I think I remember it being about a third of the way up towards the
	front, labelled "- (hole here) +" something like that.

	My big question would be, where to stick the voltmeter to make sure
	that you are not over adjusting???

	I sort of did my by "feel" - I do not recommend this!!


	Also, where is that place that sells a kit with better rated Mac+
	parts (you know, the flyback transformer, some caps, etc...)??????

	I called them once and they seemed pretty cool, the kit was about
	$50 ?? (my memory may not working here)

	It may be my mind (again) but my Mac seems hotter after new SIMMS.
	Maybe now I'll get that fan for the Mac - a necessary part, or
	so I've heard.
