hmmm.  All of this quoting from the manual got me thinking.  So, I
grabbed my manual.  Page 6-2 is blank.  On page 8-5, it states:

	To attach the internal model[disk drive], follow the
	instructions packed with the drive or have your dealer install
	it.

My "Introduction to the Amiga 2000" is copywrited 1985, 1986, 1987.  By
the way, page 6-2 is in the section on using preferences.  I am no
longer worried about my warranty being invalid.

If anyone else out there ever owned an IBM PC, they will recall that the
"Guide to Operations" detailed how to remove the cover and set the dip
switches and/or install other peripherals.  Sorry to waste the bandwith.
