- I put in a Radius 19" color monitor card in my dock. There is a little
- plastic tab that makes sure your NuBus cards are straight and don't sag
- (since the cards are on their bellies, and not on their sides like other
- Macs). Well, the problem is that Radius cards (or at least this one) have
- chips and other parts that go right up to the edge of the card. This makes
- inserting that tab impossible. I just left mine out, and have not had any
- problems, but it bothers me just the same.
