David, >> The daughter card seems to fit well enough where I believe the screw and spacer isn't necessary. It would seem to be a strange discrepancy with the instruction manual, however.<< DPS has admitted that they dropped the ball on the original shipping as the manuals show the spacer and screw is to be used. You'll also find out that if your shipping your system cross country or even taking it to someone elses house for a show and tell you better make darn sure that the daughter card doesn't come loose in shipping…worse yet just assume it's ok and turn it on only to hear electrical arcing and a wiff of smoke come from inside….not altogether something I'd take a chance on. If you unit doesn't have a screw and spacer: A: Call DPS and have them ship you one. B: Make one from all those screws and spacers you threw in your junk drawer with the intention of finding a good use for them….nows the time for the good use part! <BG> If you don't make sure they stick together perminantly you may be sorry.
