Ok, I got out the Franklin, added 6 more socket extensions to clear 
all of the lower case stuff, and whatever else is on that big riser board. 

Anyway, it works, although there doesn't seem to be lower case, and 
I think I know why, but due to the many uses for this device, I'm not 
going to add it. The upper board may not be necessary in the Franklin, 
but I'm not sure how easy it is to remove it. I'll have a look at it, and, 
if anyone already knows (Michael or Tony or David, or anyone else), 
please speak up before I wreck this thing.  :o)
