"A combined slotted and Torx drive screw was used in electronics manufacturing. For example, Compaq used this type to combine the benefits of Torx in manufacturing and the commonality of flat drive in field repair situations. The slot was closed on the end"
big t i had a whole room full of 286's 386's and older junk. like you couldn't see
