Re: transporting CIS systems

["Rick Cambra" <slp@2xtreme.net>]

Don't know exactly, but I would probably remove the CIS carts, plug the
outlet holes of the carts with the plugs that sell for about $15 if you have
them, then tape the vent tubes that come out of the 4oz bottles with tape.
I would also put a strip of tape on the bottom of the carts to make sure the
plugs don't come out.  Then I would put regular carts in the 1280 to keep
the heads somewhat wet and hope for the best.
