Thanks, Steve. What I was specifically looking for was the "security screw"
with the head that requires an allen wrench to open it. It seemed like
something worth having for a machine that will be tied down in my office, but
where anyone with a coin could get at the hard disk! If anyone does know the
part number for that screw (or a package that contains that screw), I'll be
grateful. Apparently it shipped with the 600X - at least it says so in the
PDF manual - but I've never seen one.
Edward
