I used a soldering iron to make the hole and a one sided razor blade to trim up the excess plastic. If you use a soldering iron to make the hole be sure to do it in a very well ventilated area, since plastic fumes are given off. I've had no detected errors using the 720kb's as 1.44m. I've been using them for 7 or 8 months. Good Luck, Bill O'Shaughnessy No warranties or guarantees are implied or given for any of the above.
