Yes, one of the ones that doesn't work is the one at the side of the 
Panther case near the front. I was told by Castle that it would be 
easy to reconnect this, but I haven't dared to do so.

Many thanks for the offer, but I think I'll keep things as they are 
for the time being, at any rate. However, there's an open invitation 
to druck to call in for tea/coffee/beer/wine (delete where not 
applicable) any time he's in Prestbury.

 The only thing that worries me is whether the other back socket might 
go too; presumably that would mean a new USB card anyway? How easy 
would that be to fit by a clumsy technophobe?

With best wishes,

Peter.
