- This is not true. I bougt my Dell DX9 new, with no instructions, dot, or
- anyway of knowing which way the cable was supposed to be attatched. I
- inadvertently put the cable in upside down. It didn't work. I turned the
- cable over and Bingo! It did no obvious damage because the Dell operates
- better than either of the internal floopys in my A2000.
