     Recently, our Mockingboard was moved from the II+ to the IIgs in
order to test upgrades on a few for-GS programs. As usual, routing the
output cables was a bother; but, a way was found and the lid was snapped
back into place-- almost.

    "Almost" because there was an obvious bowing of the lid near the
rear and it did not want to close. Something was pushing up on the lid!

     It turns out that, while the MB cables ran well below the top of
the lid, they were still in the way of a projection extending down from
the back of the lid. No doubt the projection has some admirable purpose.
It will have to remain undiscovered; because I snipped it off using wire
cutters. Now, the lid snaps down neatly with no danger of damaging or
dislodging cables running along the back.
