It is next to floppy in the upper half of the chassis. There is a 50-pin (IDC connectors) ribbon cable that goes down to system board at the bottom of the lower half of the chassis. The chassis splits in the vertical middle in a, if looking at the chassis, fairly obvious place. Because of the cables that run from the top to bottom, it effectively hinges at the front of the chassis. There a couple buttons on the side to release and sometimes a security cable bit to remove (phillips screw). On 12/1/18 7:08 PM, ED SHARPE wrote: Hi?

And the mod to the original battery isn't that hard to make. In my experience with IPCs, the bigger problem is the power supplies. If the PS on the IPC that you have now doesn't need to be re'capped now, it will need it soon. After that will likely be the HDD that needs work. Almost all of my HDDs that originally shipped with lunchbox systems up to the 424 meg (ST1480N) have died. The price for working 50-pin SCSI HDDs are at a point that SD2SCSI parts make more sense (unless you want to exhibit them as they originally ran). alan On 12/1/18 6:55 PM, ED SHARPE wrote: BUMMER It may become a static? display..... ?
