teh case of an old MacIntosh? I seem to recall that in addition to
special torx tools, probably one with an extra long shaft, that you needed
something to pop the case open...
I'd like to upgrade the tiny hard drive in a mac se, and maybe in a mac plus
1 Meg, to use a 250 meg scsi drive.
Any idea if these units will run system 7?

As others have said, use a T15 Torx in a long handle. MCM Electronics had some
cheap "Mac Cracker" tools that were essentially a T15 Torx screwdriver with a
long shaft for a while, they still may. I bought a log handled bit holder from
them and use any bit I need but you need to be wary of the magnetic bit holder,
especially when working near your floppies. I sat my bit holder down once on my
PS/2 25 reference disk and you know what happened. Fortunately (at that time
before internet) IBM had the files to make a new disk for free on their BBS.
