[NTLK] usb001

[Lloyd Conway]

Hello, Dennis:
      Mine arrived the other day and I had it in in 10 minutes.  (I 
thought about taking pictures, but forgot to do so in my rush to try and 
get it done.)  The four phillips screws on my '2000 came out easily 
enough, and the case came apart without the use of any tools.  it took 
some time to work it apart, but although I am naturally a bit 
ham-fisted, I got it done without doing harm (my first rule when working 
on electronics).  The usb board snaps in place easily, mating to the 
open connector you'll see on the first try.  The square port cover came 
of easily, and the unit went back together without srious issue, and 
booted up as if nothing had happened.  (I am waiting on delivery of the 
driver software to test the usb port's operations, so I cannot report on 
that yet.)
     In summary, most anyone should be able to do this in 10 minutes or 
less with a phillips screwdriver.  I hope that this information is helpful.
Regards,
-Lloyd Conway
