Sze,
Lucky for you, I have my machine open as I type this 🙂
It seems that you did get an older version of the board. Mine says Rev
2.0 in the upper right (by the bracket).
Aside from revisions, there does not appear to be multiple versions of the
card. The video slot in the 4000 is "wider", hence the larger slot. The
Opal works well in my friend's 4000 upstairs, which is identically
configured to your friend's.
Mine is operating in a 2000, 8 megs 32-bit RAM, 2 megs chip, WB2.1.
I'm not sure what you mean by "can't get the OPAL board to bootup with the
board installed in our machine(s)." Do you mean that the machine boots,
but the board does not operate? Does OpalPaint report that the board is
missing?
The only thing that I can come up with is that your Workbench colors are
not set correctly. Seems that on a 2000, the blue component of one color
must be an odd figure; I believe that the restrictions are somewhat
different on an AGA machine.
Let me know how you make out. My Opal experience was "plug 'n' play".
