Hmm, "corrective education' has two connotations for me, one judicial and one allegedly erotic. . . . > Here is mine: The 575 MoBo in my hand has a "J9" slot right alongside > the PDS slot.

I have the same thing that fits fine - unless you mean there's no where to put the trailing lead with the monitor connectors, but the actual board fits fine. > I am at a bit of a loss to recall what the "Apple Presentation System" > actually is although I've got one buried in storage.

ISTR a thread on the CC Forum with a link to a Japanese site which has pictures of the relevant cards showing which fit and which don't. <time> checks . . .http://homepage.mac.com/wtnb/commii.htm - ah, no, that was CSII cards in PCCs. But as the thread around http://www.voy.com/24978/6/723.html confirms, some fit, some don't. After posting that, I bought a CC from Kevin Tomes, mentioned in the article. His solution to fit taller cards (including a modem card - which then allows a Mystic with CS modem and PDS Ethernet) is to carve away a strip of the plastic chassis above the CS slot. This stops the l/b being slid out of the back of the Mystic, so you have to remove the case to access the l/b, but it works well. hth, Stuart. ---- Stuart Bell - enjoying ADSL with Mac OS X on his iBook.
