Don asks question about purpose & orientationof chip8:OOI TotalEven installing the slides for the disk drives was complicated. An instruction toinstall them was not found, and there was no mention of which package they were in. Itwas only a matter alf luck the participants remembered seeing them earlier, since theinstructions on the slides were covered by tape. Securing the screws was most confusing.There were six holes m each slide (fortunately labeled), two holes in the drive frame, but 2sets c~f 2 screws (4 total). Only by trial and error was the correct combination found.After the slides were installed, having spent an hour and a half and still not eveninstalled the disk drive, the participants gave up and called NCR for help.
