Hi sorry about the late reply and thanks for all your help. It was v much appreciated. The translation is fairly cool and better than anything I could get. Did u get it from a google translation? U were right about the X68000 being hard to take apart. Getting the screws off from the area in between the two towers was quite / v difficult + required brain work and initiative + improvisation. Anyway I took all the screws off the left side that I could see and the outer case on that side is quite loose but it still won't come off and seems tighter at the bottom. I even took the screws off under the machine where u can see a circuit board between the slats. Anyway thanks again for all ur help and anything regarding this again would be v much appreciated.
I'm not sure what you're doing. If you're just trying to remove the cover from one side, there are only 3 screws to remove. None of the screws in the middle of the case need to be removed for any purpose (except maybe case mods etc).
