Scary indeed! I had to do the same clipping on one side of a resistor on my
SE's MB. Then even more scary I had to solder the resister back in place when I
bought an accelerator card with more RAM slots. The worst part of soldering the
resister back in place was my sweat dripping off my brow onto the MB and me
trying to keep the MB dry. LOL.
BTW -- I still have the SE in storage now with a SE/30 MB in place of the
original. Ahh, those were the days --glen
