[SunRescue] Replacing hard drives on a Sparcstation IPX

[Mike Hebel]

There was an earlier thread on it.  Is it's a 411 box you need to stick a
paperclip into two holes, one on each side of the box, about an inch from
the back.  There's an internal clip which holds the lid down.

I think we need to post some pictures of that somewhere.

Thanks, any ideas for the external drive?  I can't figure out how to get the
plastic case off of that.  It looks like it should lift up, but I can't
figure out how to get it to do that (without breaking the case that is).
