Or, an older ROM in a newer motherboard. The Rev. 1 motherboard differs from the Rev. 2 and Rev. 3 motherboards mainly in the Rage Pro video chip in the 2 and 3. The Rev. A ROM differs from the Rev. B and Rev. C ROMs mainly in the Slave support in the B and C. The Rev. C ROM fixes problems with the on-motherboard video in the Rev. 2 motherboard and its associated Rev. B ROM, but there were some incompatibilities introduced, which can be corrected by installing a Rev. B ROM on a Rev. 3 motherboard. Other reasons for downgrading include the Slave support being unnecessary, as on, say, a server, so a Rev. 3A machine (Rev. 3 motherboard, Rev. A ROM) makes sense in this case. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
