Does anyone know if you can upgrade an A2000 REV 4.4 board to a Rev 4.5 or where one might find information on the suject?

John, The Reve 4.1 to rev 4.5 upgrade involved removing a couple of capacitors and adding a resistor. No biggie. Any dealer that was also authorized to do repairs could do it or tell you what it was (if they kept their C= service manuals). If worse comes to worse call KJ computers are 818-366-9120 to arrange upgrade or perhaps, if you are nice, they will tell you over the phone what it is (better have shematics handy). wmc – via Autopilot!

Sorry for juming in but along the same lines, is there anywhere that you can find out what is involved with each motherboard revision? I am trying to sell my A2000 (W/ a rev 4.4 board) and that seems to be turning people away. Is there a flaw with the Rev 4.4? I've never had a problem with it!

Well, the best sources I can think of are dealers, Dave Haynie and people who were dealers like Mark Manes or CBM engineers like Dale Larson. I wouldn't mind seeing a run down either. BTW, I believe that I saw reports of problems on earley 6.x rev MBs that were worse than stuff on the later 4.x revs. I believe that mpst venders drew a line in the MB rev sand at whatever revision they developed on just to cut potential tech support nightmares. GVP did this with their '030 card for problems I was having with their SCSI device. Turned out to be intermittent memory on their accelerator and nothing to do with the 4.1 rev MB I have. wmc – via Autopilot!
