Ok -- I was able to use the paper tab to remove the data cable, and the HD sled slides nicely, but that power cable plug, white plastic, with the red, tan, black and yellow wires, refuses to come out and I don't want to damage it because it's part of the computer and will need to be plugged into the new HD. I have pulled it and wiggled it but it hasn't moved a micrometer..<sigh> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
