Somewhere around 13 or 14 years ago, I took a brand-new Sequential Systems
RAM-GS and cut off the upper front corner to fit into a "stealth GS." I did
that with a Dremel with a cut-off wheel.  I don't think I had even bothered
installing the card first to verify that it worked...that would've been an
expensive mistake if it hadn't.

On the subject of buying a Dremel, I'd recommend one of the multi-speed
models.  Mine is single-speed; while it still has its uses (see above), the
multi-speed models are more versatile.
