TANDY MOD PRECAUTIONS

If you aren't VERY careful when performing the PCjr to Tandy 1000 
Modification, you may ruin your systems board or other 
components. Here are suggested precautions:

*  Make sure to unplug all equipment from wall outlets. ALL!

*  Make sure that the installer is grounded before touching the 
PCjr or the Tandy Mod chip. Use a grounding wrist strap.

*  Lift your feet from the floor and keep them up. Example: Put 
them on the rungs of a chair, or kneel on a chair.

*  Keep your fingers off the 64 pin expansion buss pins on the 
right side of the computer.

*  Remove the internal memory board, disk controller card, disk 
drive and power supply. Touch these internal cards only by the 
EDGES.

*  If you have a socketed 8088 chip, remove it and set it aside. 
Remember to replace it when the mod is complete.

*  Use only a low wattage soldering iron - 20 watts maximum.

*  Be sure that you are working in the correct area of the 
motherboard as per the orientation illustration.

*  Be sure to replace everything you removed.
