User`s guide
Above cables made with heavy duty wires (AWG-18, with 600v insulation; color-
coded. All power supplies and cables thoroughly pre-tested prior to shipping.)
200 watt power supplies occasionally available at $3.00 extra cost, but an extra
3-4 weeks must be allowed.
Eight page illustrated instruction manual sent with each order; also the manual
is available on self-booting text-file disk.
Faster service!
During the past month, users have had to wait 2-3 weeks from payment to
shipment. More power supplies have arrived, and I have ordered the cable
components in larger quantities, so through the remainder of the summer I expect
to ship the orders within 4-7 days.

016- Does the metal R/TV interference shielding in my GS
case matter?
I've done some testing. The Radio/TV interference shielding mattered, at
least for all the people around in my former dorm.

My tests were done in a separate dwelling (i.e. not an apartment, dorm,
etc.) and focused upon effects in our 'Computer Room'. Turning ON the GS
produces some interference with or without shielding and the level seems to be
the same.
One problem with R/TV interference is that its level and kind is dependent
upon many factors. For example, I can get virtually complete elimination of GS-
produced Radio station interference by simply turning ON a printer connected to
our PC!
Each user will have to weigh the trade-offs for his/her situation. Removing
the shielding eliminates a dust trap and improves air flow. It is easier to pass
cables through case slots; and, if you need to remove the motherboard (to make
repairs, add Slot jumpers, etc.), removing the bottom shield removes a shorting
hazard when the board is re-installed.
If you remove the lid and do not like the way Radio or TV reception is
affected, leave the shielding alone. If the result is acceptable, scrap the
shielding.
