What I thought I saw (dimly lit room ;-) was a whole new motherboard, relaid out from the 4.x motherboards. I even thought I saw that the memory section was using 1Mx4 DRAMS instead of the 256Kx1 DRAMS used in my rev. 4.3 board. If this is the case, getting your 4.x board to a 6.x board would be a board swap, not just adding a few cuts and jumpers. Maybe Dave could comment on if the board was indeed relaid out. Personally, I'm waiting for the 68030 motherboard swap. ;-) ;-) ;-) > > -Tom Jeff Easton UUCP: !mailrus!sharkey!aucis!easton Zenith Data Systems OEM Engineering No, I dont know any more about future '030 Amiga systems than the next guy, in fact, I proabably know less. ;-)
