Well, you win some, you lose some and some of them get flash flooded right down the sewer . . . :-/
While I spent the afternoon snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in the Sonnetization of the Radius 81/110. I tackled the programmer's switch assembly for this hack while formatting and reformatting the 17GB Ultra 160 and installing three different OS versions looking for a silver bullet for the upgrade project.
That's what I get for changing the order of battle, using the flamethrower reminded me of the spaghetti western, The Good, the Bad and the UGLY. The plastic switch assembly has been melted and cooled into more droopy, contorted shapes than Dali's timepiece. The "top" button shrank a bit in size , but it can't work anyway, the sound connector is right smack dab in the way. Heck, the entire extra back inch of the 7600 MoBo is in the way of anything Quadra 700 back there . . . which led to the inversion-n-melting plastic conversion diversion.
Shoulda' tackled the Speaker Tower. :-/
The "top" button (with the triangle on it) is now the "bottom" button and the one with the circle on it is slated for the headsman's block, to be replaced by some kind of LED. Maybe I'll install the IDE card and put in two LEDs for a pair of laptop or solid state drives. Then I can convert the great light pipe for the Power Led into a slightly protruding ATX startup button or something . . . dunno, it's rumination time.
Thankfully, it was a 7100 programmer's switch assembly I torched. [
