Subject: Master Compact Questions (case cut-outs and econet

Hello. :)

I've been lucky enough to be given a Master Compact. It does have a few 
issues but I am in the process of sorting these out (and some I have 
sorted out already)

A couple of questions though...


1. As this machine has an eeprom (I think) rather than the more usual 
battery backed cmos, will I need a special version of SetStation for a 
Compact ? , I do have a version for the standard Master but have not 
tried that yet (not fitted the Econet board yet)

2. More curiosity but I would like to know. On the left side of the main 
(the computer!) unit, there is a small removable section held in place 
with a screw. What was this intended for ? , I'd have a random guess at 
possibly the potentiometer (if fitted) for volume control. Probably 
totally wrong guess though :)

3. Along the same lines as (2), there is another cutout with a nice 
factory blank about the centre of the back. What was this intended for ? 
, I cannot think of much for this one, apart from passing some kind of 
cable through but for what ?


Thanks as usual :)


Andy.
