Thanks, Travis (and sorry for mis-spelling your last name)
After my cleaning test, I noted that the grime was black not brown. Basement cruft it is. It could also be mixed with a little moisture from changes in environment during shipping, which would make dust a bit sticky. I did leave them in the box 24 hrs before opening to give them a chance to heat up. I've left the cases open to air which should help. The Tyan board boots OpenBSD's install floppy. The other board doesn't boot yet. I'll know more once I get a keyboard adapter. Next thing I need to track down is an ATX IO shield for a Baby-AT board (just has a keyboard hole). The case makers say to get it from the MB maker; I have an email out to Tyan. Thanks again, Travis. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
