"Tamper-proof" is NOT "ARD-proof".
Correct. There are _very_ few fasteners I couldn't remove if I had to.
And the manufacturer not wanting me to get inside something is not
sufficient reason for me not to go inside said unit
Maybe it's just a "test".
"Only those who can get past it can be trusted inside"?
:-). I ratehr like that. If you're sufficiently clueful to rcognise what
tool is needed, and you are sufficiently clueful to obtain siad tool,
then your reward is eing able to back about with the device.
My TRS80s had a bigger problem, trying to come up with
the right color and
consistency of "Glyptol"? to keep them "on warranty" after adding
additional circuitry.
I got quite good and peeling off those 'Removing this label voids the
warranty' stickers over one of the case screws of later TRS-80 devices. I
never bothereed to put them back, just stuck them on a sheet of silicone
paper (backing from Letraset ru-down letters) in case I ever did want to
return the unit. Never did of course, it was less hassle to fix it myself.
