Robbie Cook writes (in annoying caps):

	about disabling your speaker

Well, what I did is this:  I got some 20 guage wire, and a toggle
switch from Radio Shack.  Put the switch on the + wire between
the source and the speaker terminal, with enough space to run
the switch to the back.  Then I drilled an appropriate hole in
one of the plates covering an empty slot, and installed the switch.
It looks great, and is terrific in those situations where the
speaker just starts wailing away.  I would have put in a variable
resisitor as a volume control, but I was afraid the added impedence
would burn out my speaker chip.  Cheers,
