I have an SE HD20, so I also had to connect the mouse so that I could run the shut-down manager, and be sure the heads were properly parked. Imagine me rolling the mouse around on the XRay machine.... Looks silly. BTW, I'm sure a dedicated terrorist would find plenty of room inside the Mac case for a bomb, and still leave it in fine working order Jim Meiss jdm@emx.utexas.edu jdm%uta.MFENET@nmfecc.ARPA -------------------------------------------------------------------------
