If I replace the boards as needed are the new boards NOS or are they revisions
that are more reliable? Why would replacement boards be more reliable, or do
these things have a MTBF that I am going to bump up against regardless? I
used a Ebay 250mhz bd and the price was 40$ so it was cheap enough, I plan on
keeping the machine as a back up when I get the Titanium.
should I be on the look out for spare boards? Ah, so many questions.....
Thanks again guys, you really give good imput.
