Swapped out the milk crate I was using for a stand with a wire table
[Honey Do, out of Ace Hardware].
Then, feeling all sort of heroic, I swapped in my ASC-19160 and there
the wheels fell off. HD whirled, but nothing on the screen.
Cursing, I wrapped myself alongside the 7010, and tried to pull the SCSI card... No fookin dice. The PCB is tall enough so it physically prevents
that hell-spawn easy slot cover release from moving. At all.
Pulled the 7010 forward, pulled all the cables, and dis-assembled the
catch, removed the too-tall card, schlamned the catch back on, stuck all
the cables back in, diddled with the power cord, and booted into the
glories of Win7. Taa-fookin'-Dah!
