So, does anyone know how to take an RA81 on slides _out_ of the cabinet? The
manual gives a lot of directions on how to _install_ it, but nothing on how to
_remove_ one once one has it in.
I had to take a pair of RA81's out of some cabinets, and I could not for the
life of me find the trick! I finally resorted to undoing the two machine
screws that hold the slides onto the RA81 case, which I consider sort of
cheating (although from looking at that manual, that may be the correct,
official way...)

Hi Noel,
hehe, I had exactly the same problems a year ago and also found all this information on
how to install the RA8x drive, but not how to _uninstall_ it :)
You actually have to unskrew four screws which hold the slides against the chassis. Two
screws on each side, if I recall corretly. Not sure on the exakt total amount of screws
anymore, though. The slides are hold by brackets, so the slides are completely removed
from the drive's chassis.
Cheers,
Pierre

You mean sliding them out on their rails or removing them from the rails?
