Don't forget the good old weasel (spelling?) card, in in the good ole days, the Braille Display Processor, from VTEK, for which I was Product manager, and prior to that the Large Pring Display Processor. And, there was the Frank (spelling?) Audio Data device, and Speakuelizer (spelling?)... Things were so exciting and simpler then, but I'm so spoiled, I can hardly stand to use my 750MHz XP box anymore, and when I got it, I was in heaven with it's speed. It and 2 500MHz boxes will make up my Linux Farm, when I get up the courage to beg Janina to reboot my lost Linux internal Knowledge Base, as I've lost the ability to get my 1 500MHz box to "do right" and lack sufficient knowledge to even begin to know where and how to get it back under my control. I'm the proverbial savage doing Magic where Linux is concerned, but am so very comfortable in the evil Gatesian world.

Well, there are a couple more things you'll need sighted help for. First, as was mentioned, applying cpu compound, and installing the heat sink. These days, since the bios screens are gui-based, you'll need sighted help with configuring the bios as well. This used to not be the case back in the days of text-based bios menus, and machines with parallel ports, provided you had a way of speaking text sent out the parallel port, a braille blazer being one example of one such device.
