Perhaps my 1040 is different from others, I have had it about 18 months.
I had heard all the stories about cutting required.  I had also heard that
the clock system available from the fellow in Mass. had an option for the
cable.  I looked inside the case anyway, and, much to my relief, found that
the ROMS were not under the power supply and that there was plenty of room
to mount the clock chip that had been in my 520.  So, not all 1040s are
created equal, and, if yours is the same as mine, you will have no problem.

PS
please don't ask me to open it up to look for fab rev numbers or anything
like that.  I will not open that beast unless it is really necessary.
