Different jumper pins ;-) perhaps all boards have the jumper pins for the server use not sure. When installed the machine restarts after a power loss. At J38 on the motherboard most people just have two small soldier filled holes a few people have jumper pins here which when installed disables motherboard cache as it should be when used with a G3/4 upgrade. Lucky for the majority of us with no jumper pins here nearly all G3/4 cache upgrade software lets you disable the cache. We were saved by Apple doing the same dumb design with the Apple 9600 machines. Happy Holidays ;-) Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
