I recall that at least one 'manual' with a 486 mb, pointedly referred to 'THE Grounding point' and with a terse use of ~ phrases like .. "to prevent ground-loops" .. "ensure a hi-current ground return, use a star-washer" etc. It carefully advised using insulating washers for the mere mechanical mount points. That stuck in my 'lectronic memory as being: Sound Advice.
But then.. I tend to read these things 'cause I'm lazy. I'd rather read about What Can Go Wrong than sleuth. Still - only remember this stuff being hinted at once (in maybe a mere couple dozen or so overall installs = pittance).
