------- Removing the side panel on a S900 can be tricky on your first try. You need to unscrew the brass knobbed screw in the rear center. Lay the case down on its right side (on a towel or something soft.) Get some extra hands on your first attempt so the two tabs can be depressed while the panel is slid backwards, which needs to move only several inches upon which the panel can be lifted off. No need to slide it all the way back. Place your palm with fingers spread wide on the side cover, making sure not to push down too hard. With just enough grip to keep your hands from slipping, push down gently and backwards to slide the panel off the locking slots. As you have gathered by now, I ain't no technical writer... There are several other methods you will figure out after you remove the panel couple of times. Alan -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
