Thanks for the confirmation, Ron. I can't tell how it's attached, but I
guess I can just clip its wires.

I accidentally murdered my PTPro200 by trying to upgrade to OS 9 using the
system disk that came with my TiPBG4. After telling me that it wouldn't
work, it ejected the disc and the PTP was never able to restart again! I
must have fried something. I took it to a repair shop and they couldn't get
it to work either. They couldn't really tell me what the problem was either!
Computer Voodoo! They eventually found me a used 7600 and transferred my
drives, RAM and Sonnet card to it. It has run okay, but there's no real room
to upgrade it, and it uses desk space. Finally I decided to get the 9600
since it was so close to the PTPro. I figured that I could pump it up and
still get a lot of my Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter work done on it. I
wanted to be able to use the RAM, drives and G4 card and still be able to
expand. Plus, I really don't want to move to OSX until I absolutely HAVE to.
I HATE that system upgrade spiral!! Especially since I felt there was a bit
of arm-twisting involved. Guess I'm just a Luddite at heart. I loved my old
PTP though (sniff).
