   Thank you.  With some good teaching, I might be able to get there.  But after   
   this weekend, I can't keep trying to teach myself how to do hardware stuff.  I   
   need to learn from someone who can show me how to do it.  The first order of   
   business is to    
   replace that two-pin "FAN" connector.  The second order of business is to get   
   this IIgs working.

   able to learn them from a    
   teacher, but I am likely to wreck things if I try to be an autodidact.

   battery case and wires for a    
   IIgs, create an internal cable from motherboard to port cable for a external   
   10-key for a IIe, and I managed to build the RamWorks IIII kit from Reactive   
   Micro.
