[comp.sys.mac] Interrupt/Reset switch and Mac+ Upgrade

lui@ucla-cs.UUCP (03/23/87)

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?

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.
