Graham-

That may be true, but they don't seem to be as common as you suggest.
When I tried to find a driver for the PosiDrive screws Hewlett Packard
used in my counter, there were none to be found. None of the sales
people in any of the various tool or hardware stores knew what I was
talking about.

I have recently obtained kits from two sources that include PosiDrive
bits. But that is after several years of searching for them!

I thought that HP used Torx head screws !! Though most European
computers use Philips heads screws, not Posi !
