#CPU board 3.0/3.1
Here's a question that is apparently stumping all the experts out there…
I just purchased the dkb 3128 memory expansion board for my 4000/040. In the
manual it warns that the memory board will not work correctly if the CPU card
is rev 3.0 instead of rev 3.1 or higher. Sure enough, I have a CPU card rev
3.0! And sure enough, the computer says the expansion board is defective —
just like dkb said would happen with rev 3.0.
After contacting a repair facility and being told that they did not have the
spec sheet on the revision, the repair person suggested I contact dkb and have
them fax the repair person the info on the revision.
I contacted dkb, but they do not have any documentation on the revision. They
said that they thought it was a major board revision. However, they did say
they recalled reading about a "work-around" a few years ago. The person at dkb
said that they thought that I might be able to find it by looking for
information on a fix for the "3640."
I have not been able to find any such information.
Does anyone out there know anything about this. It is very frustrating to have
a memory expansion board and not be able to use it!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
