      From: ohland@charter.net              I looked at the two pictures, and yes, it IS a 4869 case. No doubts. Red       power switch. "Design Protection Applied For"              The connector end of the cable is a DB25.              Since Robert has foundt a manuel for a Micro Solutions floppy drive, it       seems possumble that a "Battlefloppy" was modified to support a CDROM.              This makes me curious, blue. The mod should be pretty straight forward.       I wandt to see some privat feelty-feely T00l-P0rn inside the opened case.              Robert Prins wrote:       > On 2024-03-07 22:49, Louis Ohland wrote:       >> Oops.
