Yes, I think I'll prefer that (or some masking tape) when trying any
re-assembly. :-)

This makes me wonder if these screws are akin to the posts in the RPC. I
wonder how many Iyonix users only bother to re-insert the 'easy' two screws
when fitting a new HD.

I have replaced HDs in the machines in the past. But have totally forgotten
what I did. Old age (mine!) I guess. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
