Subject: Question on install of Radius TPD card in SE

When I opened our newly purchased Mac SE which the vendor
had installed the Radius TPD card for us, I found that
the MagicBus card (a 90 degree expansion slot extender card)
did not have any of the standoffs installed on it.  THe
purpose of these standoffs are to keep the MagicBus card
parallel to the Motherboard. I had taken the SE apart to
add more ram, and had a difficult time getting the TPD
card to work again, as its difficult to keep the MagicBus
card seated correctly in the motherboard while inserting
the TPD card.  

My question is this - is there a reason why installers are
not putting in the standoffs anymore?  The installers said
it was too difficult.  Has anyone else had problems with
this - or has Radius abandoned the installation of them?

Also - having to pry apart the card guides to remove the
momma board seems to be another hassle too.

BTW, the card works great now, I am really happy with the 
sharpness of the display.
