harddrives, and these really INSIDIOUS LITTLE
RUBBERIZED GASKETS
that you wedge into various mount-holes on a metal plate inside
the VAXstation's case. The drive sits on these gaskets, you see,
and gets insulated from the scary conductive metal plate, while
still getting a little airflow under the electronics.
I'm ALWAYS missing at _least_ one gasket whenever I want to mount
a drive. Often, I'm missing all four of them at once, making life
terribly difficult. I've resorted to using non-conductive washers
and screws with _really_ big heads to kind of work around it,
but it's a sub-optimal solution.
Thanks for any (and all) help!
Go to the next hardware store, and check with them about this little rubber
pieces (gaskets ?) which are used in faucetts. They are not really original
DEC parts ;-), but they work for me. And they are available in many
different sizes & shapes.
cheers & hope it helps,
