Re: What chip went on my Sawtooth?
Greetings ( + )!( + ) I believe that is where the auto-test jig connets to the motherboard for testing.

Also. I am getting tired of seeing the logic board laid out like an autopsy victim and I am wanting to encase this puppy. I doubt I will have a Mac case to put it in. In putting it in an old PC case, do I need to use insulating washers on the back or front side of the logic board?

The site you are showing is not a position for a chip. There are no pads there to which balls could be soldered; just vias (holes in the board). The pattern of vias indicates to me that there is a chip in that position on the other side of the board. Flip it over and see. If so, then nothing is missing, and nothing additional was meant to go there.

The gigabit Ethernet chip was meant to go in that spot. The board with have either the larger 10/100/1000 chip (and its heat sink) or the smaller 10/100 chip. On a number of models, Apple uses a single raw board, and then it populates it in different ways for different retail models. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

This chip is not necessary for the function of the board, but is either an option or is the next step up from the Sawtooth. On looking at a DA board I have, it looks like the DA has a chip there, so I am now guessing that the chip that fits on the Sawtooth turns it into a DA. But I am still wondering what that chip is. Thanks, Dennis in Edna, TX Yes ... I was mistaken. I thought this link would help: http://www.macgurus.com/products/motherboards/mgwhichram.php but they seem to stop with the Sawtooth as far as mobo diagrams go ... Help is on the way offlist ...
