A1200 - insulate CF from touching rf shield?

[danwood]

Some CF Card adapters have exposed pins on the underside of the board, like this



So definitely a wise idea to insulate them, having the IDE pins making contact with the shielding or anywhere on the Amiga's motherboard will not be pretty.  As suggested above, I use insulating tape.

RF shield...what's that

Out of the factory Commodore covered the Amiga's motherboards with a metal shield, to comply with FCC interference laws iirc.  

Most Amiga users have removed them over time as they added upgrades, so if you bought a used system it probably doesn't have one any more, but they looked like this (CD32)



Great for slicing fingers on as well!
