Whee! CD! Mouse!
Opened up Allegra again, on instructions from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hachi and http://www.rigacci.org/comp/312T/disassemble/ , and re-attached the mouse cable to where it was supposed to be plugged in. I got a datachisel and finally got the right hinge cover off successfully.
I now have the mouse working again. I have the old CD drive working on it, I think -- I have a floppy drive for mnemosyne!Thalia, and a floppy for Allegra, so I got the drivers for the Acer external CDRW downloaded and installed on Allegra, so now Allegra has a CD drive again. This makes it possible for me to think about installing other things, especially the NIC that I got for it.
NIC might be working, now that I told 98 that it is supposed to know TCP/IP ...
And. OMG. Allegra lives!
Next step: installing the little ...
Woo! Online! With Allegra! New location for computermachine coming right up!
Now I can happily disassemble Mnemosyne!Thalia, put deadbrick!Thalia back together, and ship deadbrick!Thalia back to the BOfD. It'll take me a bit to get Allegra the way I want it to be for my interim machine, but it'll work. Yes indeed. It'll work.
I'm so very tired, but feeling so very satisfied with myself.

Deadbrick!Thalia is Thalia with her old 40gig original HD, the one that has bad sectors and will be returned to sender.
I had hoped to get Mnemosyne!Allegra as a working combination, thus the installing of the 2nd NIC on Mnemosyne, and the installing of the external CD drive on Mnemosyne, so that the drivers would all be in place and working, but since Allegra does not take well to being taken apart (I had to look up instructions, and they scared me) I may actually not do that, just put Mnemosyne in the enclosure and use via USB cable.
