cd rom dying

[Michael Havens]

That was fun. I opened my box and took the cdrom out. Then I opened the compaq 
up and struggled to get it's cd rom out. I put it into my box and the memory 
hit, "Take the scsi board out and put it into your machine." So back to the 
compaq I went and took EVERYTHING apart to discover that the scsi controller 
is on the motherboard. OOPS! Well, one good thing came of this; I realized 
that this isn't an impossible thing for me to do. When the contemplation of 
doing this hit me I was seized with fear! "I can't do this! I thought. I did 
it and I'll do it again if I must.
