I've got a problem child with an SE/30 that I can't get to open easily. Frankly with those old drives, I'm assuming that slapping to too much might bounce the heads on the HDD.
Thanks for all the input! Jack ----------------------------------------------- From: "J.S.

Place the Torx driver in that screw's slot and tap on the end. This cracks the top of the case. Pushing on the SCSI connector with a thumb while pulling the bottom of the case will crack the bottom. No pry marks on the seams. No damage to the Compact. Jeff G -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
