I would like to replace my current 40 MB drive with a 100 MB one.  I was 
about to do so yesterday.  I opened up my SE/30, tried to remove the original
40 MB one, and could not:

The four screws which hold the drive to the supporting bracket were not
accessible via a screwdriver.  I suppose, I could go out and buy an l-shaped
screw driver, but I still will have problems putting the screws back{in 
unless I magnetize the tool....

Any better ideas?  Is it easier to remove the chassis and then take the entire
bracket out?

Is this just a poor design since I have one of the first SE/30's which were 
produced?  (Jan. 1989)

Any comments, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.  Please email responses.
