Hello Again,
How do I go about identifying the motherboard version in a beige G3 MT? LEM had information on how to identify the ROM version, but nothing on how to identify the Mobo.
I get the impression that people swapped the ROMs around on these pretty freely. I dimly recall that mixing/matching different Mobos and ROMs may not be a good idea. However, this may be simply due to the fact that I had a frappucino and powdered sugar donuts for "dinner" and right now just about everything seems like a Bad Idea.
Best,
James Fraser
Apple has the logic board info. here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2492 which is basically this:
Rev. 1: $77D.40F2 Rev. 2: $77D.45F1 Rev. 3: $77D.45F2
But that is the ROM matching method and if someone switched the ROM...
IIRC, a board with an ATI 3D Rage ll + DVD chip is a Rev 1 board Rage Pro is a Rev 2, and Rage Pro + DVD is Rev 3
Also helpful stuff is beige manuals:
