Two of those I have ben able to fix, the others were write-offs. I've also seen - and fixed - one mobo with a video ram fault. The video ram is at the opposite end of the board, above where the PCMCIA cards plug in. Every one of the faulty mobos I've seen has had a disc other than the original. This doesn't mean I don't swap my 20G (working) and 6G (experimental OS etc) drives around fairly often, it just means I'm very careful when I do it. It appears that the mobo is more flexible than is good for it. It also appears that the 50 case and the 70 case (which had the fatter drive) are *not* identical to each other, although they will work on either machine with a little filing around the hole where the expansion port pokes through.
