    Hi,

    I don't know if this is a problem with the A604n as such, but I can't get the clockport extender to sit under the floppy bracket. It's like the screw is too short - it just goes round and round in the hole. Without the extra height of the clockport extended, the floppy drive bracket screws in tightly. Do I need to find a longer screw, and can anyone point me in the direct of what the screw spec is (diameter, thread pitch etc)?

    You should not need a longer screw - unless someone has inserted a shorter one before. Can you take a picture?

    It's about 6mm.

    It seems to have original screws everywhere else but this poor A600 has had a hard life judging by the state of it.


    That's a rather fine-threaded screw for going down into the bottom plastic. Are you sure you've got the right screw? This one seems to go into the drive, not down through the board.

    I swapped it with one of the other case screws, which seems to work.


    I don't think Commodore had the best quality control when they built these things!
