First off, let me make sure you are aware that I am not an official
representative of Blackhawk Enterprises, I am a customer like you.

Kevin Pease installed my board. He did a "destructive" upgrade to the socket
the '070 had been in. It has little plastic standoffs mounted inside it so the
'070's contacts will make contact with the socket. But the "plug" for the '340
accel board HAS to go ALL the way down! So he clipped out the stanoffs so the
accel board would go all the way down. Pease said that if I ever wanted to go
back to the '070, I'd have to mount some kind of standoffs in there. But, mine
is working OK and there ain't no reason why I'd want to go back to the '070!!!

Good luck with your system. If all else fails, give Pease a call. His number is
(615) 758-9787 at home.
