You can remove the PRAM battery without having to remove the I/O card. Just pop both ends of the little black plastic retaining clip off and pull the battery out. If you feel the need to remove the I/O card then remove the 3 phillips screws holding it in place 2 inside and one out) and yank it out. It's not as fragile as you might be imagining. I can replace a PRAM battery in that particular Machine blindfolded and in less than 30 seconds...so it shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
