It's not that hard, just don't do anything dumb ;-).
Real risky with the paper clip, We lost a OI CPU messing about with not up to specs wiring practices. Some of the pins on the Comp port go directly to the CPU in the OI and it clearly states that you fry things messing with the port and there is no warrenty. More than 150 dollars including the overnight shipping. As the Innovation First Service Tech said, triple check your wiring before stabbing on to the Comp port.
