- Thanks for the suggestion. I, too, had to take the case apart!
-
- :-/
-
- But after about an hour's worth of struggling, I managed to fit it onto the
- connector with a most satisfying "click!" I think that the key to it was
- loosening the screw closest to the connector that holds the shielding in
- place. That seemed to help.
-
- Two other questions now:
-
- 1) When I run SysInfo, it says "MMU disabled." What's that about? I thought
- I was getting an MMU!
-
- 2) Does your trapdoor bulge out a little bit? The manual says it shouldn't,
- and mine still does... and the board's definitely on as far as it'll go.
-
- 3) What are the relative merits of enabling/disabling the kickstart remapping?
-
- Thanks again.
