Excellent; that is what I like to hear :). Now let's see if this upgrade is
a smooth trouble free experience. COUGH COUGH! :) Splutter PPC, splutter
Ateo Bus splutter Tower conversion splutter SCSI CD-ROM... :)) (btw: those
are just a /few/ of my troublesome experiences :)

Excellent!

Even better; now I can use the Rset switch on my tower soon as well; well
the Ateo KB interface has one, mind you - the Ateo K/B interface didn't
work; hence why I bought one from Power Computing. I'll be damned if I'm
gonna wait 2 months (like I did for the Ateo Bus) to get a replacement
keyboard interface. Well that's what I thought... :))
