I have the corder version of the Megahertz (CC3288) and it does not 
interfere with my SCSI card (for the external CD ROM).  I have a 
TP701Cs and can in fact close the little pop-out door with the hole 
in it, the connectors come through nicely.

  "What is it? Is there an epidemic of cholera there or

  inconceivable. I cannot find words to explain this to my
