Might I suggest a bit of research for 'Blotter/ Card stock' of the proper thickness to act as a 'phantom DIMM'. your choice of cleaning solvent, insert and remove several times, let dry, should be 'good to go' Chuck D. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
