[ snip ] Is the new board dead? >> Perhaps not, but it is a "composite", a Rev. 1C. Rev. 1 mobos have Rage + DVD chips; Rev. 2 and 3 have Rage Pro PCI chips. Rev. A ROM SIMMs are intended for Rev. 1 mobos; Rev. B ROM SIMMs are intended for Rev. 2 mobos; Rev. C ROM SIMMs are intended for Rev. 3 mobos. Rev. A ROM SIMMs do not support Slaves; Rev. B and C ROM SIMMs do, but Rev. C and/or Rev. 3 have some issues other than Slaves. Perhaps the most compatible official mobo/ROM combo is Rev. 2B, which is common on mid-run /266 and late-run /233 mobos. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
