Most embarrassing early moment was inserting the small grant continuity cards in every free slot and being very confused when the whole thing didn't work.

This was only discovered when comparing with the full sized version :-( Of course, there was the day that the BA-11 power supply made lots of pretty white smoke and we don't want to talk about the three phase double adaptor :-) Huw Davies | e-mail: Huw.Davies(a)latrobe.edu.au Information Technology Services | Phone: +61 3 9479 1550 Fax: +61 3 9479 1999 La Trobe University | "If God had wanted soccer played in the Melbourne Australia 3083 | air, the sky would be painted green"

[Grant cards backwards] I've done that. Lotsa fun to find which one, since there's no smoke or bangs or indications of which one you botched.... (In my case, ALL of them, in a double-cabinet 11/44) -------
