[rescue] Wit's end -- Indigo2

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

The trick with Indigo 2 top covers is that you first engage the tabs in the
top of cover with the tab slots in the top of the back of the computer
(with the cover at about a 45 degree angle), then while making sure
the tabs stay in, you bring the front of the cover down, the two tabs you
mention will engage with the plastic bottom and the top will latch back
in.

If your unit is Teal (green)... I think I have an extra top in pretty
good condition (I actually have a whole case.. gutted).  If your interested
in it to get yours better looking, let me know.

I also have loads of Indigo 2 parts if there is anything you need (
CPUs, mainboards, power supplies, midplanes, memory, keyboards, a couple
of mice, XZ (GR3-Elan) graphics board sets, etc).
