peripherals attached to the rear connectors such as external disk drives, printers,
etc.
b. Remove the A2000 cover by removing two screws on the lower right side, two
screws on the lower left side, and a center screw from the rear of the Amiga. Set
these screws aside for later use. Refer to CSA drawing 01244 showing the location of
Group A screws.
c. Turn the computer so that the front is facing you. Grasp the cover on the sides,
carefully sliding it toward you, and lift up on the front as you pull.
WARNING If
the cover gets caught, DO NOT FORCE IT.
Check under the cover to see if any
internal cables are holding it. If so, correct the problem before continuing with the
cover removal.

socket, that device will take precedence over the CSA
Mega-Midget Racer
unless it is removed or deactivated through software.

(see CSA drawing # 01242).
