11/34 irks

[Julian Wolfe]

*shrug* I just leave out the hard-to-get-to screw, the other modules fitting
next to the keep them lined up properly.

However, the bottom screw for the back end of the chassis is only meant to
be loosened - iirc, you're supposed to remove the top two screws on either
side of the chassis holding the back end on,and it flips down, the other
screws on either side being designed as a hinge.

At least that's what I've been told.
