   Louis Ohland to All   
   Dell 7010 and Adaptec ASC-19160 No-Go

   Swapped out the milk crate I was using for a stand with a wire table   
   [Honey Do, out of Ace Hardware].   
      
   Then, feeling all sort of heroic, I swapped in my ASC-19160 and there   
   the wheels fell off. HD whirled, but nothing on the screen.   
      
   Cursing, I wrapped myself alongside the 7010, and tried to pull the SCSI   
   card... No fookin dice. The PCB is tall enough so it physically prevents   
   that hell-spawn easy slot cover release from moving. At all.   
      
   Pulled the 7010 forward, pulled all the cables, and dis-assembled the   
   catch, removed the too-tall card, schlamned the catch back on, stuck all   
   the cables back in, diddled with the power cord, and booted into the   
   glories of Win7. Taa-fookin'-Dah!
