Well, that would have happened by some good old fashioned yanking it out :) Then I realised I probably wasn't meant to do it that way; thankfully the HD ribbon is super-tuff and undamaged.

Just got the ribbon out - it was solidly wedged in the plastic surround and I needed to pull it quite firmly and downwards where it popped out. Slid in the 10GB drive and all is good - currently installing 8.5 onto it with nil issues or bus errors.

The Newertech ethernet card looks like a nice solid piece of kit; my last PB1400cs/166 had a Newertech video card which could do dual display but was unbearably slow. I'm also pleased my sitting-in-a-box-for-five-years 12X CD-ROM drives are both running sweet!
