Larry great help!
This answered the main question. The seller was also very helpful on basic nut
and bolt type issues. I think I can do it now without screwing up the ZIF or
the B/W.
It is a shame Sonnet Tech does not have legacy user/install manuals available.
But then I was never a great supporter of Sonnet processor upgrades. --glen
