There ya go you see! Yet another practical reason why sticking 2 LC cases top to top would be very useful. Cut a hole around the LC PDS connector, add an extension cable to the socket and hey presto, you have an LC with the ethernet card sicking out of the hole on the other case :) IIRC the LC PDS cards, by spec, have holes around the edge for plastic stand-offs, I never use them on mine because they are a fiddle and my ethernet cards are so small they never 'flap' anyway. However these could easily be used to bolt it into the empty space in the opposite side of my Quadra 805 :). -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
