the problem is that a capacitor behind a regulator was not changed when
a higher current capable regulator was mounted causing instable voltages
(probably wild oscillations)

yes. it's called a mirror. use it to look at the lower part of the ISA
slot. there is a sticker. if it annoiunces v1.0 you're all set. if you
have v1.1 you may be having an incorrect board. however, it's easy to be
changed if you know how to handle a soldering iron.
