Ah... Actually, I think the keyboard was supposed to be user-removable.
You could unclip it when using the machine so you could put it in a
convenient location.
Undo the 6 screws on the front of the machine (2
rows of 3, pretty obvious when you look at it).
Not if you've never taken off the keyboard before (/me smacks forehead) Slot 2 is a
full-length slot
Looks like my last remaining Plus Hardcard 20 is going to find a home
(hope it still works). Or, I could try to find an IDE adapter and then
a CF-to-IDE adapter on top of that... One thing that
is worth doing is the 640K mod. Being a normal XT
motherboard, you can put 41256s in banks 0 and 1, 4164s in banks 2 and 3,
a 74S158 (or 74F158) in the empty DIL socket at the front of the board,
and solder a jumper between pads E1 and E2. Set the DIP swtiches for 256K
(really, all 4 banks used), and you dnn't need any memory expansion cards...
Good to know, thanks! You're always a help.
