I had my Mac 512 upgraded to a Mac+ almost a year ago. Not be a Mac applications programmer, I haven't really neede the reset/interrupt switch. However, now I am starting to program on the Mac and am finding the need for this switch again. The problem is that the plastic switch which used to fit in my Mac 512 case just fine doesn't fit correctly in the new Mac+ back case which comes with the Mac+ upgrade. You can sort of push the switch in, but the reset and interrupt switches stick so they stay in after you press either one of them. My solution will be either to file down the vent slots where the switch is supposed to go or file down the interrupt/reset piece of plastic so it will fit. Does anyone know of a better solution or where I can get another interrupt/reset piece of plastic which will fit? Stephen

Try taking it back to your dealer. We've had quite a few 128s and 512s upgraded here (the one I'm typing this on, for example), and don't have this problem. And we always use the reset/interrupt switch; most of our machines are public access and get crashed by users quite regularly. (PCs and Macs both). You just lucked out and got two pieces at the opposite extreme end of their tolerances. -- Rick Keir -- one floor up from the Oyster Tank -- UWisc - Madison {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick
