Just wanted you to know that I appreciate the donation.  At this time however, my company is still in startup mode and because of lack of funds myself (boy do I know how that is), the project is currently in a holding pattern.

Next week I return to school (seeking a BS in Computers and Electronic Engineering)  I have approximately 2 and 1/2 years to complete the program and hopefully with degree in hand, I can make some headway with my own company.

Anyhow, I do think your donation was generous for the A4000 parts and I hope you continue to contribute to the community.

It wasn't easy...

1. Get you're currage up to mollest the chassi without knowing the result.

2. Get yourself a little "burn-cutter" (dunnot the name, but it's a glowing hot metal whire), and start tracing out the letters.

3. Take a sharp knife and cut the bulging edges on both sides that comes when plastic melts (in the process accidently remove FDD, HDD, Power markings). Before doing this you realy think everything is lost cause it looks messed up.

4. Spray the hole chassi black with a few layers of paint.

5. Put maskingtape over the hole and turn the hole thing upside down then fill the hole with something clear that will settle stiff (I used a kind of compound glue). Make sure to get out every little airbubble and get the material into the small sharp edges.

6. Sandpaper the backside of the seethrough area to get a frosted look for spreading the light of the glowwhire more evenly over the area.

7. Spray the hole chassi again, this time with a few layers of clearcoat (this will take away some of the roughtness of the topside of the clear area).

8. Done
