R.A. , I looked at both my daughters B&W this morning, a rev 1 and rev 2 . Looking at both internally and externally there are no notable differences in the serial number, ROM version (ASP report, although I did the Apple ROM update before the 10.3.2 install) ,machine ID, case design, etc. Manufacture dates on the cases themselves are both 1998. The rev 1 machine was manufactured in January 1999, and the rev 2 was manufactured in December 1999. The only real difference I can see is the hard drive sleds (stacked in the rev 2, just like the G4's ) and a production date and part number on the motherboard itself, right below the RAM slots. Rev 1 board reads: Apple Computer Inc copyright 1998 , part number 820-0987-A Rev 2 board reads: Apple Computer Inc copyright 1999 , part number 820-1049-A Anybody have any additional info?
