There are too many Performa models to keep track of, buy I'd guess from the
Rubic's Cube description that it's one I've run into. After a lot of work I
solved the Rubic's Cube, only to discover that all I had to do was remove a
plastic cover and 2 or 4 screws on the rear, then use the handy fold-down
pull-ring... to slide the motherbd out the back!  So... look at the rear of
the unit.
