A few golden rules for using the uIDE cards.
* '''Never''' attempt to connect or disconnect a uIDE card to a computer with the power on. Always switch the machine off first.
* The storage device (DOM or CF card) is '''not''' "hot swappable". Turn the computer off before removing the storage device from the uIDE card.
* If the uIDE device is external, protect it from stray metal objects on your desk. We don't want any short circuits, as these could damage your computer or cause it to crash.
* If you are using a Z80 shim, take great care when removing the Z80 from its socket, and inserting it in the shim's socket. Attach the Z80 bus cable to the shim before attempting to plug it into the computer's Z80 socket, and again, take care when doing so. If your shim was assembled by me, the pins are gold plated and quite thin so as not to damage your computer's Z80 socket. They are easily broken, so be gentle.
* Pay attention to the orientation of expansion adapter cards on the back of the PCW. Fit them with the LED at the top (8256/8512). 6128 adapters have a more obvious orientation, again with the LED at the top.
