I recently purchased a Prometheus 2400SE internal modem for my Mac SE/30.

The installation instructions gave the usual "Don't install this yourself
because blah blah blah..."

Anyway, I didn't install it myself, primarily because my whopping 90-day
warranty has not yet expired, but also because the installation instructions
that came with the modem claim that there is a special tool used to split
the case apart; and a screwdriver should not be used as there is a good
opportunity to damage the case.

The local Apple dealer charged me $50 to install that sucker, and didn't
even do it right the first time, so I had to take it back (I am mighty
unhappy with these people right about now). I would like to avoid this
situation in the future by doing future work inside of the case
(when possible) myself.

What can you tell me about this "special case-splitting tool?"
Is it really necessary, and if so, where could I get one (if indeed I can)?

Thanks in advance.
