Polymorph,

Thanks for the info! Your site is just what I needed. I'll probably
enlist the help of my neighbor to make the modifications to the case.
Of course if the motherboard is a ROM 03 it might take more work but
it should still work, it might just take a little more work to make it
happen.

Thanks again,
Dean
