[Ti] screws in hard drive?

[Dave Friesen]

Some of the early models had Phillips (+) screws on the bottom, mine does.

HD screws are Torx. Hex will not fit, best to get the proper drivers.

I got mine at Sears, but most hardware stores will have them, especially
stores which specialize in automotive tools.
